Once the layout is finalized, a color palette is developed. Research, research, research! There is usually something visually that speaks to me, and a layout will start to come together in my mind and then on paper (or, in my case, on the tablet). What is your creative process behind an original print? My first print was Hula Nodders, which I understand is going to be re-issued later this year! Anything I didn’t understand, I asked Tim. This was in August of 1997, and I began freelancing at Reyn’s a few weeks later. Prior to our meeting, I did a little research about textile illustration, repeats, and screen printing. It turned out to be for Reyn Spooner and my interview was with Tim McCullough.
I was working freelance (editorial illustrations, greeting cards, package design, t-shirt graphics, and a children’s book) when I saw an ad looking for a textile artist and was intrigued. My background is in design and illustration. Read our interview below on how she got into designing for Reyn Spooner and her experience bringing Star Wars to life.
We caught up with Carole, the artist behind our Star Wars™ prints and many others, who is celebrating her 20th anniversary with Reyn Spooner. At Reyn Spooner, a major point of pride is our original prints created by our team of talented artists.
