UV Printed Youkai Badges

Poplar wood, UV print, digital

For 'Doki Doki Con' in 2019, I wanted to create some badges to sell inspired by Japanese folklore (as it's primarily a Japanese culture event) but wanted to test out a method that lent itself more to mass production. I had all 4 pieces of the badges UV printed and laser cut before construction, which meant they retained a digital drawn appearance  rather than them taking time to paint individually. 

Printing the design also meant that the designs could be reprinted onto tshirts without any differences between the merchandise.
