About the Print: Seashells

Seashells. Every so often certain designs will start to make Jana antsy. Shellini is one such design. For years she wanted to change it up and put an editing hand to it. Finally she set her mind to it, but instead of editing it as she intended, she completely redid it and so the resulting print is a fully reimagined version of Shellini. Interestingly enough, Seashell is probably the most true to life of all the Jana Lam prints except for ‘Ae which was drawn purposefully to look just like the actual fern. For this design, Jana drew a few shells from actual photos, and for others she combined parts and pieces here and there from different shells and put them together, and sometimes she made them up altogether. Jana will always be fond of this print because when she was tracing all the shells that make up this print (and there were more, it’s actually been edited down, with shells taken out, she was totally in the zone and only goofed up and used white-out a couple of times. She’s really proud of the precise and detailed nature of this new print.
