Another rainy day that needs some flowers. Continuing with this new direction and enjoying exploring these abstract flower forms. Ready for art licensing, swipe to see it on a mocked up and reimagined album cover. 🎵 #theydrawandgarden #surfacedesign #illustration #modernflorals #albumcoverart #illustratorsforhire #artlicensing #flowerart https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLKrItO8-S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working out some ideas… For this one I played around with the #bardotbrush Alcohol Marker set for some bold coloring in of the shapes. Fun! Lisa makes so many amazing sets for Procreate. These were used in combo with some of my own custom brushes made from painted textures. I wish I remembered which tutorial I followed to share here, but there’s info on Skillshare and YouTube about it if you’re interested. And it’s very addictive. 🖌️ #theydrawandgarden #bouquetofflowers #foodillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGnRU_vzIu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was taking shots of Summer Sparklers today and found a perfect illo for International Women’s Day! I channeled old fashioned soda fountains for this one that features a boozy ice cream float. 🍨 Summer Sparklers comes out in the UK March 16 from HarpersCollins and should be out in the US soon. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpidcfnPWXI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, I’m finalizing this pattern to submit to a Spoonflower design challenge this week! The theme is passementerie which is all about trimmings, cording, beading and tassel adornments. With it’s oversized florals and cool, calm vibe, it would be perfect for home decor. And now that I know about Pattern Preview in Photoshop, the the backend process got a little less fussy. 😂 I’ll post again when the voting goes live! https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaPE8ku8p2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More play and exploration today with the theme: passementerie. Have you heard of it? I had not, but came across the term when I was checking out Spoonflower challenges. It's the art of embellishment and trimmings on clothes and furniture with things such as beads, braiding, tassels, and fringe. This is very much not my usual aesthetic, but I found some forms and line work, like soutache braiding, inspiring. So off we are to play and I'm curious to see if I can make a pattern work with these forms. #passementerie #theydrawandgarden #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7dTfKuCaC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh November, you were rough. My family is ready to turn the page and look at Covid, other illnesses, and impossible book deadlines in the rear view mirror now. So today I’m ready for some celebrating! The season and holidays are shifting and I dug up this wintry art to get into the spirit. My chocolate orange martini illustration is from the book Winter Warmers, by Jassy Davis and published by HarperCollins. https://www.instagram.com/p/Clje2PlPACA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So psyched to share a new collaboration with designer Lauren Beltramo! We created a fun, foodie iMessage sticker pack packed with delicious phrases, images and animations.

Pick up the sticker pack here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-eats-treats/id1299142037?mt=8

Plan your good eats and fresh treats through fun phrases and images to help you decide what’s for dinner, what to pick up at the store, and even what to do when you don’t feel like cooking (pizza night anyone?). These charming stickers include animations throughout to spice up even the sweetest recipe list.

I thought I would do something quick for #nationalicecreamday, and ended up spending 2 days drawing ice cream treats 🍦😂 So glad cause the exploration led me to using these paper "clipping masks." I want to dive in a lot more to this process! #foodillustration #icecream #foodillustrator #theydrawandcook #foodstagram #summervibes #summertreats #twitter #sarahferone
