My four horsemen (women? cowgirls?) bandanas are finally done. I screen printed about a dozen which are now available in my etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/emmadearest). The traditional colors for the four horsemen are black, white, red and pale, which is usually a sickly greenish shade. Unfortunately, my pale came out a little too teal but really I think that gives them a more western feel so all is not lost.
I am hoping after the BFA show to be able to do a few more of the four corners designs. I am planning on doing either the four humors or maybe the four life-stages of endopteygota, using only members with four wings. I also thought while I was still in Chicago of doing the four cardinal directions with a Chicago theme, east side of course being the lake.
I'm open to input...

Four Corners Bandanas!
I have been meaning to work on a series of bandanas which would be themed around the number four, each of the four corners featuring a different design. I started with the four horsemen of the apocalypse rendered in a very traditional, tarot-inspired, medieval-wood-block-looking design but I have been dragging my heels finishing it (considering I started it in September). I decided to mix it up by trying a different version and got really into it. In this version the horsemen are cowgirl pinups mixed in with some cheesy western and demonic symbols. Now that I've finished the design I am hoping to screen print off some bandanas when I get back to Chicago. Here is a mock up of the final design:
