Love this. Everquest got me into art several years ago, the vibe of those original covers is honored so well here. 💛

A commission related to Kieth Parkinson's work, this one for a bookcover for the game Everquest. Kieth was the originating artist executing the first 5 advertising and cover paintings for the game.
What a shadow to work under!

Mockup of a wrapped gift

Black and white hand drawn leaf shapes

Repeating pattern of leaves and berries

The process for this one was involved but fun! I drew each layer and then vectorized them and stacked them on top of each other to create the final file.

Still deciding on color schemes I love best, which is the most addictive part of the process.

A repeating pattern featuring manzanita leaves, white berries and a reddish brown color scheme

Manzanita: a "false half-drop" repeating pattern that I may use for wrapping paper.

I'm on a wrapping paper quest! I want at least one design I love done by July, when holiday buying season for retailers starts.

Don't let yourself sink into the despair of comparison with younger people- that's all this is.

As we get older we become better at letting go of things our younger selves only thought was cool, paring down our life's work to what we truly love. Don't give up before you see what that is for you.

Burn it down.
