I am always stumbling on new blogs and websites I like to re-visit, so I thought I might just share them. I had a brief once where the idea was to let your creative juices flow and explore new materials and techniques that you had never used before in order to create some ideas for surface pattern design. I really enjoyed doing it so it is always an inspiration to see how other artists take their ideas and inspirations and turn them in to fabric design, wallpaper, ceramics, cards etc. A great blog to check out is; http://www.printpattern.blogspot.co.uk/ -. Enjoy a complete celebration of all things surface pattern design. There is a little something for everyone

I have a few bits and pieces to share over the next few days.

This illustration was for a past competition - character/vehicle design. I usually prefer to use ink and watercolour so full photoshop mode made an interesting change.

Time to begin

Well what an eventful year it turned out to be. I had to defer finishing my degree until this year due to a much too early and unexpected addition to the family. All is well so now its time to get back in to the thick of it.
