I was going through my files, and found this older contest design! It's called Lil’ Witch’s First Coven, and it was my first attempt at an 'endless landscape' piece. I think it holds up!

This is Fantastical Florals, and it's the pattern I use for my header image! I made it for a Spoonflower Pantone challenge a couple of years ago, but between you and me I like the autumnal colorway more 😉

Tunes for Freaknik Ghouls🎶

Another series that started as a fabric design, and later got remixed as a print series. The whole thing was inspired by album covers from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. And, of course, monsters!

Literary Kitties! 📚🐈✨

Two of my most successful prints EVER. Shout out to my stream chat for helping me brainstorm cat puns for the book titles, that was so much fun!

The Night of Meows! 🎃🐈✨

I made these last year juuuust in time for LACC, and they were a hit! I just love how joyful all the cats in this series turned out.

🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!🎃

A few years later after I made my Pastel Halloween patterns, I was determined to turn the masks one into a standalone print. But each of my attempts failed... until I realized I could have other monsters wear the masks! The full series: (1/2)

Another set of patterns! Both of these were done for the Pastel Halloween contest on Spoonflower years ago. I submitted the left one, and it did really well!

Another recent series: Furrever Friends! 👻🐈 This was NOT supposed to be a series- they started as warm-up doodles for a twitch stream. But I liked those sketches so much that I finished them up✨️

Hi there! I'm JM Tolman, an illustrator & graphic designer, and I'm finally using this account! I tend toward the retro, sweetly-spooky side of pop art, and I design fabric as a side gig.

For my first post, here's my recent series The Autumn People!
