She sells sea shells


This was done freehand on Photoshop with a Medion tablet my dad got me from
 Aldi; I found it to be one of the best I've used, I like that you could make unpolished drawings that can be manipulate straight away. 


A collection of drawings and photography

These are some of the drawings and photos behind my prints i'm gonna do it in two posts because I can't seem to get them to align when there's more than two images.
When you finish a project its always really nice to look at were you started, I often have new ideas later on of different directions i could have took, maybe future projects.

Sail away

These are some of my surface pattern designs based on some of the photos shown in my last post.

I like to think that they portray a mythical type narrative, if not a little clichè with the rope. I think my favorite is the aerial-view inspired print.

But the Saltiest sea Knows its own way to me


Some photos I took for a Print project that I undertook, there were so many to choose from but these definitely represent the best.


Funny fact, that is actually my face




These are some of my fashion illustrations I made from my own printed fabric designs , focusing  on  texture  and kaleidoscopic prints. A little bit of a seventies vibe, i'm proud of them but they lack movement because the model is in the same pose, I guess that kind of lets the fabric down a bit.  I have some others that have a better range, i will dig them out.

Lets get creative

Here are some photos of drawings and sketchbook work that were used to create my fabric designs and some of the elements of the fashion illustrations of my fabric designs.
