Penny Peppermint

Megan Majewski's cute'n'creepy art, shows a world of twisted bizarre dead girls, forgotten pets and other sweet but formerly living things. Although non-living, you can feel the spidery souls of the characters lives and the hardships they endure as skinny-necked oddball creatures from a gloomy underworld of the dead. With subjects that can be placed in the realm of Victor Van Dort and Beatleguese, they poses a certain cute and cuddly quality that makes you want to pinch their decaying discolored cheeks. Megz got her start painting murals in her home town of Cranbrook and soon after moved to Vancouver to attend Vancouver Film School to start a successful career as a Computer Graphics Animator. "Spook" Majewski's student film has gone to many festivals including Annecy and was even used as the music video for Tunng's song 'Fair Doreen'. She has worked in all areas of CG from films like IRobot, to television series such as Battlestar Galactica, to cartoons like Viva Pinata. As much as she enjoys bringing life to characters on screen her true passion is painting those that do not possess life. Her first solo art show was an incredible accomplishment Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.
