Hello everyone! I’ve entered my first Spoonflower Weekly Challenge. Vote for your favourite entries here!

The theme was 1920s - and although the first Printed Circuit Boards weren’t quiiiiite invented as early as that, I always thought that the golden lines and blue-green backgrounds of circuit boards felt aesthetically similar to art deco patterns.

If I get into the top 50, this fun design will be automatically made available for purchase on fabrics, gift wrap, wallpaper, and even home goods! If you like it, I’d greatly appreciate a vote - you don’t have to have a Spoonflower account to cast your vote! Thanks!

Change is coming?

When I first created this tumblr account, the main thing I had in mind was a portfolio. I wanted a website where people could see my artwork, and browse my pattern designs and illustrations. With the recent launch of my new website and portfolios, I no longer need to use my tumblr as a portfolio - which means it can become an actual blog! I’m not much of a blogger, but I do find sometimes I’d like a place where I can ramble a little more than on my instagram, share more of my process and the behind-the-scenes of what I’m doing, give updates on my stores etc. so I think I need to try and force myself to learn how to blog!

In conclusion: there will be less art on here, more... talking. Discussions. So if you want to see mostly art, follow my instagram, and if you want my portfolios and to browse my work (or get into contact with me about licensing, where to buy my products, freelance etc), check out my website.

Wow, does anyone else find blogging really awkward? It’ll take me a while to get used to this! Thanks for sticking around!

I’m excited to announce that my website is up and running! Please feel free to take a look! It also has links to my Redbubble and TeePublic stores, which I’ve been uploading plenty of new designs to lately so be sure to check them out.

As it’s been over a month since I completed my thesis project, I thought I’d share a couple of my favourite spreads from the book (not necessarily in the order they appear in the book), along with the contents page.
