Holds a special place for me because I’m the year of the dragon and next new year is my zodiac sign. So I created a pattern that represents me
Year of the Dragon
Based off the idea of the start of something as the caterpillar is the start of a butterfly. I sketched out differing poses a caterpillar would make and I played with layering two patterns.
Spring Caterpillar
Came from how I would spend my childhood summers looking for crabs and shells to take home. This was the first pattern where I created a spot illustration rather than a pattern for the bandanna.
Summer Crustacean
Was inspired by my interest in bats and how they move when they fly. I experimented with having a wider color palette than I was used to. It inspired a new pattern approach that steered away from pure silhouttes
