Bike moon

Hey hey, spring is here and so are the pastels!

I took this old screen print I did some time ago and wanted to create a surface
pattern using it as a starting point.. I vectorised the bicycle and drew the
character and background in Illustrator. Once I was happy with the illustration I duplicated the character and bicycle, flipped it around and adjusted some of the background elements to work when the image was repeated and finally made the pattern using Illustrator's Pattern Tool, and that's it really!
Hope you like it (:

Random Flounder

I drew a flounder on Illustrator, just for fun, if you wonder!

Christmas Squirrels

Ahhh it's nearly Christmas! 

I have been busy making new things to sell a local Etsy Christmas Market event I have a stall at, 

and these little squirrels will appear in my Etsy shop very soon as well!

Polkupyörä screen print.

Hello!

I've been doing some more screen printing recently and here's a three colour print I did yesterday.
I wanted to illustrate this Finnish song called "Polkupyörä"(Bicycle), which I loved to sing when I was little.

You're pedalling,
I'm steering,
the journey is like a dance.
As we cycle to grandma's,
there's not a cloud in the sky.

Patterns.

Hello from the print room! This time I have been experimenting with screen printing onto fabric. I painted these patterns directly onto transparent film to get a really nice crisp brush stroke when they were exposed onto the screens.
