A black and off-white toile de jouy pattern showing three scenes with Mothman: one where he is flying in front of a vintage car, one where he is standing on a TNT bunker, and one where he's perched on the ruins of a concrete structure inspired by the ruins at the West Virginia Ordnance Works in Point Pleasant.

Hi everyone! Here's a new little Mothman toile that I drew for this week's @spoonflower-social.bsky.social design challenge. I hope you like it! #mothman #cryptids #cryptozoology #toiledejouy

thank you so much!😊

Thank you! And thank you so much for reposting...I really appreciate it! 😊

Thank you!! 😊

A repeating pattern of carnivorous plants including pitcher plants, Venus flytraps, sundews, butterworts, and bladderworts arranged in an ornate, symmetrical layout. Colored in shades of yellow, green, and red on a nearly black background.

Here's a new carnivorous plant pattern that I finished a bit ago. This one was super fun to draw - I really loved learning about all these creepy little plants 😊 Hope you like it! #patterndesign #botanicalillustration #carnivorousplants

Thanks!! 😊

Thank you so much!! 😊

A cartoon-style repeating pattern with shrimp at a fair or carnival. The rides, which are shades of gray and blue, include an octopus roller coaster, a haunted ghost ship, a Ferris wheel with clam shells for cars, and a carousel with sea creatures instead of horses.

A whimsical gray-and-white Ferris wheel drawn in a cartoon style. It has cars made out of clam shells with little shrimp sitting in them.

A close-up detail crop of the pattern showing a cartoon-style concession stand selling sea-themed food, including tentacle twists, barnacle bites, krill cakes, and saltwater taffy. Several small shrimp are walking around the scene, including a small shrimp carrying a stuffed narwhal and a shrimp holding a balloon.

A cartoon-style octopus whose arms make up the hills and valleys of a roller coaster. There are three clam shell cars on wheels on top of one of the peaks with three shrimp riding in them.

Here's a pattern I finished earlier this evening with little shrimp at a fair 😊 #surfacepattern #shrimp #carnivalrides

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

haha - gotta love the sassy ones! We have one that wanders through our yard most nights and he's not shy about sharing his opinion if you happen to startle him! They're such cool little creatures :)

Thank you!! 😊

aw, thank you so much!! 😊

Thank you!! ☺️

A whimsical paisley pattern in pink, green, and cream, with gray teardrop-shaped possums nestled amongst the paisley motifs.

Some paisley possums for the upcoming @spoonflower-social.bsky.social design challenge - these were a lot of fun to draw! #possums #surfacedesign #paisley #spoonflower

Thank you!! ☺️

A navy blue and white toile-inspired design featuring two griffins facing each other on top of a crumbling stone archway. Trees frame the scene, with a moon and stars above. Through the archway, you can see a unicorn and a distant castle.

I've been wanting to do a fantasy design with griffins for a while now, and this is what I came up with. It was a lot of fun to draw - hope you like it! ☺️ Illustrated in pencil on paper. #surfacedesign #fantasyart

A hand-illustrated repeating pattern featuring anthropomorphic Labrador retrievers in lab coats engaging in various science activities. The scene includes dogs using an emergency eyewash station, holding test tubes, writing equations on a chalkboard with a planetary model beside them, and sitting at a desk, conducting an experiment with a can of dog food.

A hand-illustrated anthropomorphic Labrador retriever standing in front of a chalkboard next to a planetary model. The ball representing Earth is missing from the model and is in the labrador's mouth. He is pointing at the Drake equation on the chalkboard, and there is a chalk outline of a dog bone appended to the end of the equation.

Hi everyone! This is a little pattern I finished last year called "Science Labs" - hope you like it! ☺️ Here’s to all the real scientists out there working tirelessly to expand our understanding! #sciencerocks #patterndesign

I love this so much! Congratulations! 🐙☺️

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

These start packs and the list feature are definitely my favorite thing here so far. I am still familiarizing but I started one for Spoonflower artists! Please let me know if I need to add you to this 🩵

Thank you!! ☺️

This is so cool! I'd love to be added - thanks for doing this! 😊

I made a starter pack for illustrators and surface designers so we can find each other & connect! Let me know if you’d like to be added (or removed)!

A hand-illustrated repeating pattern featuring two pheasants, either facing each other or standing back-to-back with crossed tails. Tan and brown fronds of bent grass and leafy foliage form a symmetrical design around the birds. The background is a dark, muted blue-green.

I spotted a pheasant in a patch of dry grass while I was out enjoying some rare winter sun the other day. It's always such a treat to run across them in the wild - their colors are so beautiful! Anyway, it inspired me to make this new little pattern - hope you like it! 😊 #surfacedesign

Thank you so much!! I had a lot of fun drawing that one - I'm so glad you like it! I really appreciate the support 😊

Hi everyone! I’m a pattern designer from the PNW. My work features a lot of sci-fi and cryptozoology themes, but I also dabble in florals and nature-inspired designs. I’m here for #surfacedesign, art, cats, and anything fun or interesting :) Here are a few of my most recent designs:
