Red Viney

This is the newest addition to my textile pattern series that is yet to be named.

This one is pretty dramatic. I'm going to break from the rigid patterns soon in favor of something more organic (and difficult to build out a repeat) to gain some variety in my online offerings. I'm leaning toward more illustrative script, as well.

Bummer

Thanks to my epic online portfolio rebuild, I'm only able to crank out this tech pattern. It's actually a reject from a presentation for Best Buy. I guess that means it will fall into my textile project folder. As you can see, I've been playing Tetris on my cell phone entirely too much lately.

I still have no idea what use I'll have for these textile patterns. Presently, they're a welcome break from the monotony of photographing all my 3D portfolio projects. That task is moving from the dining room (that was previously cleaned as we prepare to sell our house) to the bathroom to bask in the multitude of light bulbs.

Textile Toast

My next project is to develop textile patterns. I'm not sure why or what for, but it seems like I'll look back some day and be glad that I did. I'm definitely not going to learn how to sew. I probably won't even get far enough to make printed fabric to sell. I guess I could morph it into some sort of trendy home art (about 5 years after the style peaked).

Maybe I should just come to terms with the idea of creating something because you feel driven to instead of because you can make money from it. I probably think too much about money for my own good.

This is the first textile that I've created. I have about a dozen more in varying stages. When I can't think of anything else to write about (like today), I'll post these.

If you want a printed canvas of one for your home, contact me or post a comment and we'll work something out. I could probably do regular prints, too. I'll set that up on my Etsy and post a link here.
