Hi, I'm José Jiménez Vega, and this is my creative project called "30 Ways to Repeat" where I'll be designing 1 pattern every day during 30 days. Rules are simple: Make it pattern!

Indie Valle. I love to visit El Valle de Antón, specially on rainy season. How is that? Well, cloudy days on the mountains with a cup of hot coffee in my hands, is my idea of a perfect getaway.

People of Paris. This pattern was inspired on a trip I did 5 years ago to Europe. I stayed in Paris for 2 days (too little time I’m afraid), and one of the most incredible things I saw, was the crew on the subway. It was so many people, and they were walking so fast like, if you stopped, probably you will cause a massive crash. I just kept that image in my mind, and as soon as I could, I drew a digital version in my smartphone. Some years later, I drew a more detailed version of that old sketch, and here I am with a digital version of this lovely piece turned into a pattern I’m pretty happy with.

This pattern was inspired by a song called La Calle del Infierno or Highway of Hell from one of my favorite local artists Cienfue. The song talks about a girl that’s cheating on him.

I feel blessed for the opportunity to visit so many countries over the past 10 years. Each one has been an incredible and unforgettable experience.

Basically, this is my life in a pattern! I got a MBA Degree, I like music, I travel 2 or 3 times during the year, sometimes I read books, I love art and I’m a friendly guy you can talk to. During the weekends I can be at a formal party or be ready for casual outdoor activities. I start my days with home made coffee I grind/prepare myself, and during the week, I’m almost like an octopus, doing a lot of stuff including personal or commissioned projects. Yeap, that’s me.

KISS inspired pattern for the girls. I made a whole black version of this one for a free smartphone screen saver. Since then it’s been mutating into different colours, backgrounds, and distribution of the elements. So far this is my favorite.

This is my version of Panama Party Nights. These collages were created for a sweater design, however, they couldn’t make it. I think they work pretty cool on these pattern don’t they?
