A simple walk produces a pattern of leaves
I was walking back from the library where I had been doing some research and sketching for my circus collection when I happened upon some fallen eucalyptus leaves on the sidewalk. They all had such different shapes and were perfectly flat which intrigued me. I picked them up and brought them home.Then after a jaunt on my scanner, and a little alakazam and abracadabra...

Feeling fresh and fruity!
I did this quick sketch a while ago and liked how the the quick sketchy pen in-fills looked. I decided to see how I could use it on a whole tossed "fruit salad" pattern. With this yummy bright colored palette, I think it turned out pretty nice. Does it make you salivate or want to juggle your nearest pile of fruit?
Really quick sketch (another one created at son's piano lesson) |
A pattern fit for your picnic tablecloth! |

Lazy Daisys & Paisleys
I love creating paisleys. There are so many different design elements that you can add to the basic paisley curved teardrop shape to make them uniquely yours. Here are a couple that I created in my sketchbook. Matched with a whimsical daisy, I think this pattern came out fresh and fun! I hope you like it, too.

A pattern dedicated to my friend Marilyn Green
I call this pattern Zen Stones and I dedicate it to my friend, Marilyn Green. She is a dedicated beach comber and finds the most beautiful stones on the beach near her home in Sea Ranch, an idyllic community on the Pacific coast in Northern California. This is for you, Marilyn!

Hearts + handlettering= Love!
Can you tell I'm getting in the mood for Valentine's Day? I absolutely love creating hand crafted typography. As you can see my original sketch was just that, real sketchy. But then came the fun part, hand drawing the motifs with a crow quill pen nib and Higgen's black ink. Throw in some watercolor and voilá, a Valentine pattern!

Thinking Spring
I had forgotten how much fun I have when I get my watercolor paints out! Today I played with some vibrant watercolor colors and also tried out some whimsical calligraphic line work. The result is this springlike pattern.

For all you dog lovers out there
I recently licensed this dog pattern design to Keka Case to be printed on their custom designed digital device cases. If you like it, it will soon be available at keka case.
I think I was channeling the writer James Thurber when I drew these. I have always admired the way he was able to communicate the body language of dogs in his quick single line cartoon drawings.

It was fun creating this 4-way tossed pattern from the dog sketch. |
