Self of Steam

This is a new graphic style I'm using to explore the idea of malapropisms. I started with a natural, quick-and-dirty sketch then screenprinted it for the final output.

This malapropism is when people confuse "Self of steam" with what they mean to say: "Self esteem". The lines in the design are steamy and contain a face made up of the 'of' (eye and nose). The rectangle solid colour hints at being a mirror.
