About Dry Mango®
What is Dry Mango®?
Dry Mango is small like a diamond and tasty like the best red ice pop. And like both of those items it is intended to make you feel good.
Jo is a painter of men. Mostly in oil paint and occasionally in soft pastel.
When not painting Men, she does doodles and uses pastel to paint objects that look odd to her but normal to other folk. These are the artworks that are screen printed. Selected artwork is used to produce the canvas prints.
Because of its small and tastiness, stock levels can sometimes be a bit single figure in nature, but fear not, there will always be more colours and sizes and art on the way and the numbers will eventually become bigger.
The Dry Mango® Way.
Jo’s paintings are scanned to a high resolution. This image is then printed onto cool items like Decks, Apparel and Canvases.
The screen print process.
Spot print.
Lots of dots. Here a dot. There a dot. Everywhere a dot dot.
Tonal Index print.
The colours within the artwork are separated by a skilled colour separator (this person goes to work wearing a cape and space goggles) who controls the image in a thousands of tiny squares at a time kind of way. Then there’s ink, and screens and swooshing back and forth and final magic.
The Dry Mango® Swing Ticket.
They’re not for the bin like normal swing tickets. Where else would a Groovster like Jo put a hard enamel (numbered) badge and soft enamel ID tag?
The People. (it's just me really).
Jo.
Former daredevil and supervillain wannabe. Founder of Dry Mango.
Realising that she was never going to be in Bananarama, Jo had a Little Think about what she would like to do.
The Little Think produced a thought about art and painting. And in the end, after much mess and practice, became Quite Good.
Jo, a “Mancunian with a twist of Irish”, loves her BMX collection (and yes, Three is a collection), is proud of the fact of being able to ride one-handed-in-a-straight-line and sort of pull a wheelie.*
Jo lives in Cumbria with the daily disappointment of not having a helter-skelter in the front garden.
*This fact is disputed by Jo’s Husband due to a lack of evidence.
