A retro-inspired Western pinup character design titled "Giddy Up." This project was a study in mid-century pulp aesthetics, focusing on the intersection of clean line work and heavy halftone textures for physical production.
Originally developed as a custom commission, the vector-aligned linework was designed to be versatile enough for laser-etching on stainless steel barware while retaining the vibrant, pop-art energy required for vinyl stickers and screen-printed apparel.
Design Details:
Stylization: 1950s Dime-store novel/Pulp comic aesthetic.
Technical: Utilization of high-contrast 4-color palettes and limited color schemes to ensure brand consistency across various print media.
Software: Photoshop (Digital Ink & Halftone).
