about Funky Rat
After beginning screen printing several years ago I have restarted the process and have designed and printed a range of t-shirts with a focus on quality and clean and simple designs that are easy to wear without the plasticky feel of transfers.
screen print by hand
Screen printing by hand introduces imperfections that become part of the product giving items character and some individuality. Constantly experimenting and learning the process gives me opportunities to explore different effects and improve my prints. Whilst I aim for the perfect print some of the accidents and make a more interesting product and effects that are often faked on commercial shirts to give the hand made impression.
Why rats?
Rats are friendly and intelligent pets and all have their own characters.
They are actually classed as an exotic pet like a crocodile or parrot so can be quite expensive to keep.
They are prone to some problems and tumours as well as having a short life span of around 2 years.
