PATTERN ON PATTERN

Yes, I have been quiet lately and it's because I have been preparing for my upcoming exhibition and designing new products that required loads of time. Something had to give and unfortunately it was by blogging. I am really a one woman show here and I would love to hire an assistant but I guess that will have to wait for the money to start rolling in. I can't wait to show you guys everything but I still have loads of work ahead of me! There are hundreds of photos to edit and my websites to update and the list goes on but everything is slowly coming together. For some reason I am getting nervous! so strange. 

Today when I work up I began to think about my university years and how my professor suggested that I merge my paintings with my graphic design. For some reason I when in another direction ( typical student). Sometimes life has a way of taking you back to the beginning in order to bring you on another journey and this is one that I am really excited about. As soon as everything is all done you will be the first to find out in the mean time wish me luck.

PATTERN PLAY

I've been feeling a bit under the weather all week so I kinda found it difficult to focus on getting things done. Whenever I feel like this I usually go back to working with my hand. I decided to get my print making tools out so I could experiment with a mixing traditional techniques printmaking techniques with my pattern play. 

I'm really feeling the results now many traditional printmakers would point out the imperfections in these prints but that pretty much what I love about them. Today I am working on the digital versions of these and seeing what happens when they become a repeating pattern. Wish me luck! Have a wonderful weekend guys!

MORE PATTERNS

There were so many things I had to do and think about this week that I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get them all done. Each day I would start out a bit  unsure where I was going to begin, then I finally thought why are you overthinking everything? just take it one step at a time.

So many times we let our emotions & thought cloud our mind from getting things done. When I get that way I often find myself with a paint brush in my hand and this is what came out of that process. I'm almost done with my projects and I'm also happy with little collection of painted patterns too. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend

PAINTING PATTERNS

Remember a few months ago I told you about a new project of mine? Well I'm still at it! I initially stated that I was going to release a pattern a day in order to build up my pattern portfolio and to promote also to help promote the collection.  

Now that I have loads of work and I've decided that I will be licensing some and keeping some, and by keep I mean sell prints in own my shop, for example. I'm putting a cool printed look book and launch a new website, just for the patterns soon. 

I'm really excited about this new venture and I'll make sure to keep you all posted.
