Introducing our new printerns…
Our Printernship scheme has been going on for some time now and we have had some amazing artists and really cool work produced! We had such a high standard of work this time around that we couldn’t just pick one.. We decided to get in two VERY talented recent grads to be a part of Print Club for two months!
Introducing Rozalina Burkova & Francesca Tiley..
Rozalina is a freelance illustrator and occasional animator based in London. Born and raised in Bulgaria she moved to London to study at Central Saint Martins College where she graduated in 2015.
Her work is a mix of hand drawn and digital elements united with the magic of Photoshop. Her animations are 2D, jittery and really fun to make. She enjoy rich colours, imperfect lines and subjects caught in dreamy states.
As Print Club’s newest addition, what are you most looking forward to?
I am so looking forward to improve my screen printing skills and to get a better understanding of the craft. Also I usually work with colours only digitally so mixing inks and finding the right combinations is something I am both scared from and excited about!
If you could sum up your work in a few words, how would you describe it?
Vivid colours, textures, imperfect (often naked) bodies and fun utopia.
What kind of things do you have in mind to create over your two month Printernship?
At the moment I am thinking of focusing on imaginary landscapes where people and creatures are having a chilled time, but two months is a long time so nothing is certain.
Francesca’s work is defined by vibrant colours, decorative patterns and playful lettering. She is influenced by the naïve and expressive qualities of folk art and has a big love for anything hand made. Having recently completed her BA at Brighton University, she hopes to learn more about sign painting and other traditional crafts. 
As Print Club’s newest addition, what are you most looking forward to?
For the coming months I’m mostly excited to refine the basic screen printing knowledge I have and to start making new work.
If you could sum up your work in a few words, how would you describe it?
Bright colours, fun lettering and expressive characters…usually accompanied by decorative patterns.
What kind of things do you have in mind to create over your two month Printernship?
Big and bright images with lots of lettering…
Keep your eyes peeled for new work in the next few weeks!
