Here's a new carnivorous plant pattern that I finished a bit ago. This one was super fun to draw - I really loved learning about all these creepy little plants 😊 Hope you like it! #patterndesign #botanicalillustration #carnivorousplants

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

I've been wanting to do a fantasy design with griffins for a while now, and this is what I came up with. It was a lot of fun to draw - hope you like it! ☺️ Illustrated in pencil on paper. #surfacedesign #fantasyart

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

These start packs and the list feature are definitely my favorite thing here so far. I am still familiarizing but I started one for Spoonflower artists! Please let me know if I need to add you to this 🩵

I made a starter pack for illustrators and surface designers so we can find each other & connect! Let me know if you’d like to be added (or removed)!

I spotted a pheasant in a patch of dry grass while I was out enjoying some rare winter sun the other day. It's always such a treat to run across them in the wild - their colors are so beautiful! Anyway, it inspired me to make this new little pattern - hope you like it! 😊 #surfacedesign

Hi everyone! I’m a pattern designer from the PNW. My work features a lot of sci-fi and cryptozoology themes, but I also dabble in florals and nature-inspired designs. I’m here for #surfacedesign, art, cats, and anything fun or interesting :) Here are a few of my most recent designs:
