These are some samples of my manual color separation work- all of this is done by hand in ADOBE PHOTOSHOPÂ and took anywhere from 1-5 hours to accomplish. My aim is to always strive to get as close as possible to the original vision in my separations. After that it is up to the press and ink departments to help make that come to life.
Each design presented below is registered to its respective licensor/copyright holder. These are in no way my designs, I merely separated the files into printable 'plates' for garment decoration. Also, each design has been approved to print by it's respective licensor/copyright holder.

Final Print - note on this one, the color seems off from the source because the BBC didn't like the first run and had us change the color to what you see here. The original source file had the wrong color profile.
