Swim, Surf & Skate Inspired Bedding Artworks

I’m so excited! My first collection for a bedding company is out now. I was asked by the lovely Jo’s Dreamland to design a range of artworks which included surfing, swimming, and skateboarding themes. I’ve mentioned a few times on previous posts that swimming and surfing has a big place in my heart and I get so much inspiration from it. I’ve also done a bit of skateboarding but I can’t say I am any good at it 🤣. I absolutely loved designing these artworks for this company. Thank you for working with me Jo’s Dreamland!

Are you creating a textile based company and need help designing the artwork for it, or do you have a surface pattern in mind that you would like creating for your bedroom or other textile product in your home?

Hand painted bespoke print design request

Drawings/illustrations, Paintings, print design

I had a very unique and special request recently. I was asked to create a hand painted bespoke print for a wedding suit.

The print was to include whisky bottles and glasses, and although a little nervous about the idea since I had never painted glass before, I said yes! I absolutely loved this challenging project and would be keen to create another one like this if anyone would like a personalised print.

The client’s favourite whisky brands are included in the print (see below), each element has been created from the original whisky brand bottles. Can you spot your favourites?

Once I had created the back drop for the design. I hand painted the elements that were going on top:

I played around for a while with the placement of the paintings, I wanted to make sure the design wasn’t too busy and didn’t interrupt the background elements too much, the end result is below. The client was very happy with it!

Here are some images of how the print will look once it is on the product… exciting!

The client also wrote me a lovely review, see below:

Swing Tag Design

graphic design

I was asked to design a swing tag for Wilda, an outdoor swimming brand based in Bristol in the UK. This design was inspired by wild swimming and water based activities. You can view the images below to see how it turned out as well as the original workings. I am super happy with it! Always a pleasure working with a brand that encourages swimming. As you will see on the about me page on my website, I love any water related activities, particularly swimming and surfing, I also use these outdoor activities as a way of gaining inspiration for my work. Learn more here.

I also created artwork for stickers, surface pattern for packaging, and an illustration for a long sleeve t-shirt for this brand, with more to come!

Superheroes & Dinosaurs

graphic design

More prints to show you… I created a lot of prints for Kite Clothing when I was working for them in-house. I designed all the graphics and prints for their AW22, SS23 and AW23 collections. I also worked on some knitwear designs, embroideries and appliques. I particularly liked working for this brand because there was always a happy and meaningful story behind each design. It was fun picking themes and coming up with new designs. I was able to work with bold and bright colours and help finalise colour palettes. Colour is always something I enjoy playing with!

There are two prints from their AW23 range that I viewed recently on their website and wanted to show you why I like them. The first is the Superheroes print, a favourite because it basically implies that anyone or anything can be a superhero! I had a lot of fun playing with the colours in this one all the animals just look so happy! The other depicts a range of dinosaurs, I like this one, because although it’s a bit simpler then the superheroes, it shows a different style and still has a lot of character. I am also a fan of dinosaurs.

Tees for the mountains

graphic design

I designed a logo for 3 Peaks Rentals in Sun Peaks Ski Resort, BC, Canada. The branded t-shirts are in, and they look great! Here are a couple of pictures to showcase the new design, modelled by the lovely Gabs, who currently works for this company. This logo also features on the company’s website and has been used for other marketing purposes.
