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 (:

Polkupyörä screen print.


Illustration by Jenni Saarenkyla

















































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.

Free translation -

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.
