Admiring a repeat pattern
I bought this little vest top today from H&M for my little boy. I love the farm and vegetables pattern. It is really unusual. I can't wait to see him wearing it.
Fonts
I love handwritten fonts and I have passed these signs so many times. Although messy and not spaced out, there is something quite endearing about them.

Indoors
Lovely, bright sunny day and I am indoors in the studio mixing colours for a series of illustrations.

Fabric sample
Spent some time this afternoon mixing up some colours and making a little fabric sample. I like the top 3 in the sequence as the shapes and colours are almost Swedish in their design but I'm not so happy with the addition of the magenta or the larger flower, which looks rather simplistic and not in keeping with the design I had in mind. Next attempt will be better!

A little retro in my life
I stumbled across these fine specimens of retro-ness when I was visiting another village yesterday. I adore these old pub pegboards. They take me back to my childhood and I vividly remember seeing these in hairdressers.
I particularly liked this chalked sign. Very assertive in the 'eyes down @ 8pm'. Sometimes you don't need fancy fonts to steal your attention, a simple piece of chalked up writing will suffice.

Textile Printing
I love this medium. Simply mix in with acrylic and away you go. Now to find some clothes to print on to!

My take on 80's
I keep going back to this design even though I created it a few years ago.
It's one of those ideas that you never quite get the time to fully develop as something else takes priority.
It was designed to be a black and white pattern but I saw the piece in my sketchbook last week and took pity on it. I dabbled with some primary colours initially and then took it from there. It's still not finished ;-)
I think it's a pattern suitable for MC Hammer or on Bermuda shorts.
Textile Design
Textile design based on previous 'Urban' series work.
The first design is a simple 180o repeat. The second design uses colour to create a different mood within the piece.
