patterns

One of my patterns.

The inside of my 3rd coloringbook with 100 drawings of Magical Patterns, like this snake. My flu-yin has killer whale seems to get most credit from that book.

Patterns series 3

The part of us ruled by those mischievous little Angels. Selfishly cheerful. Beautifully naughty. Destructive in their creativity. Mostly lost in the rudiments of time. . . Unless you hold on tight.

Here are several steps in the process of making a particularly complex pattern and some color variations.

This spread was unfinished for over a year and I finally got around to completing it. Micron on Molskine sketch grade paper.

Here's the second set! I hope you enjoyed this voyage with me.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

Whimsical flowers drawn in black and grey ink pens. Designed to be colored in or left as is!

Line Art

Abstract Ink doodle and background on Yupo paper, using pinks, purples and blues. Apparently this year's colour is Ultraviolet! Design available as stickers, clothing, prints and decor.

I wanted the eyes to look real and the rest of her to be more abstract. Made of shapes, patterns and colors. Inner shapes and forms that we see if we look at a person closely.

Blue for the ocean, silver for the stars.

The Book of Patterns

Doodle Patterns. Stars - the infinite possibilities to create paterns.

Blossom in Black : In a dark world of swirling patterns blossoms a single rose...slowly...and quietly. (Uni Posca White Pen on Acid Free Black Paper Board)

Play : Intuitive work, where patterns balloon and swirl and twist and turn to create a new play field for our three. Micron Pens on Cartridge Paper 8.27"W by 11.7"H

Something a teacher said led me to imagine a world of pink clouds and golden castles, playing along the way with prime numbers. I'd like to add more patterns to my sketchbook now.
