Tropical Fusion Bloghop

On Saturday I will be taking part in a bloghop with a group of super talented designers. We have all created designs for a "tropical fusion" theme featuring Pantone Colour of the Year, Radiant Orchid, so hop back here on Saturday to see the designs and escape this winter weather for a few minutes!

New Geometric Collection

Recently I worked on some new geometric collections to add to my portfolio, today I am giving you a super sneaky peek of one of the collections, Geo Floral. The collection is created using just geometric shapes, circles, semi circles, rhombus', triangles and lines.

Feature Friday - Joanne Hawker

Today's Featured Friday Designer is.. Joanne Hawker

I just adore Joanne's use of colour and fantastic illustrations so am honoured to share her work on the blog today! I'll let Joanne do the talking..

Hello!

My name is Joanne Hawker and I live in a little corner of Somerset where I doodle, day dream about adventures in new countries and generally just make pretty things. I graduated from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff in 2010 with a first class honours degree in Graphic Communication.

I have a huge passion for design, illustration and surface pattern. A lot of my work features elements from the natural world as I find it hugely inspiring! Most of my work starts life as a doodle before it is inked up, scanned and then redrawn digitally.

 I have an etsy shop where you can buy various prints of some my illustrations or typographic, some of which can be personalised. In the near future you may see some of my patterns above on a few new things! Fingers crossed!

You can find me all across the web in various nooks and crannies.
