One of my newest patterns is this Mallards swimming in the water pattern. I live close to a lake in my home province of Ontario, Canada, and I go on daily walks down near the water. I love my daily lake walks, the sights are beautiful, the sound of the water is peaceful, and you can see birds enjoying the water there daily. So much so that they become just an expected part of the landscape. To capture this part of my daily life, I thought of drawing one of my favourite parts of the lake - the ducks that swim near the inlets & piers.
I drew the mallards lightly gliding through the water, creating soft ripples that is reminiscent of the calm water these ducks enjoy in Lake Ontario. I've also continued my exploration of the app ProCreate with this pattern - The iPad & Apple Pencil are proving to be a very powerful combo, and procreate has tons of great options to help create digital art, whether you are going for more of a traditional look or more digital. I was happy with the results, and hope you enjoy this little piece of nature from my daily life!

This pattern is listed for sale on a variety of websites - on art prints, home decor, apparel & more. With the whole lake vibes of this pattern, I've envisioned it on apparel for fishing trips and lake cottage decor. The strong teal colours add a pop of vibrance to wherever this pattern is used, while the pattern itself is quite simple.

My whimsical pastel clouds pattern is based on another illustration I drew as part of my daily drawing series in January. During my series, I experimented with a wide variety of styles, colour palettes and digital drawing techniques. Each piece turned out so unique, and I've been working my way through each illustration, finalizing them as patterns to add to my art shops. Not every illustration has made the cut, but the drawing challenge was a great start to the new year, and gave me the creative spark I needed in the middle of my pure winter laziness.

This was one of my favourites. It was one of the more simple illustrations that I created, but I liked the overall look, colour palette and playful lines. The whimsical, swirly lineart paired with the pastel colour palette gives the final piece a soft, daydreamy, feel. I added less details than I usually would to an illustrated pattern, but I wanted to play around with colour & size for this piece. 

I've added this pattern to my Society6, RedBubble and Zazzle shops, so it is available on a wide variety of products and gift ideas. The soft clouds and stars paired with the shades of purple would be a lovely addition to a nursery or baby bedroom. I've shared a photo of this pattern as a wallpaper from Society6 below... along with fitting into a nursery theme, I've seen some really creative uses for wallpaper, and this pattern would also make a fantastic DIY backdrop for a bookshelf or closet nook with its dreamy, relaxing look.
It's also available on a wide variety of home decor, accessories, stationery and crafting supplies, so be sure to take a look through my shop if you enjoy this pattern.

Today I'm sharing another one of my newest pattern collections, my celestial moon phases pattern! This illustration was another result of my January 2024 daily drawing challenge, from the prompt "mystical moons" which was day 5 of my prompt list.

I've been experimenting with digital art techniques lately, and doing a lot of my illustrations on the app Procreate. I'm loving the ease of drawing on my iPad, and that I can take it anywhere. I drew this pattern on Procreate, but then I imported it to Photoshop to turn it into a pattern, so I'm still incorporating adobe in a big way. I am preferring this workflow instead of making a pattern fully on procreate - adobe is more forgiving when placing your illustrated elements, and I find it gives you more flexibility in creating a repeating pattern.

For this pattern I really just wanted to keep it simple, but had the idea of each moon phase sitting inside a diamond frame to create a tile pattern. I added a glow around each moon, a speckled deep grey background to give the look of stars, and framed each moon in a vine and stars lattice. The result is a moon phases pattern with an ornate twist! 

I love how it turned out, and enjoy it on the products I've designed so far. What do you think of this pattern?

I've added this pattern to products on Society6, Zazzle and RedBubble. I really love this pattern on home decor, it adds a touch of mystical moonlight to furniture on Society6. It is also a great bedroom print, being night time themed and giving bedding and fleece throw blankets a celestial, sleepy feel. But I also added it on tech accessories and a few apparel items. I particularly love how Apple Watch bands looked with this pattern, the lattice tile really adds a decorative feel to it.

I started the year off in January with a daily drawing challenge. This was a neat way to start the year, because I actually used AI to create a daily drawing list of completely new drawing prompts. It was a really fun exercise and the prompts that I ended up with had me drawing everything from penguins to vinyl records! Click here if you'd like to see and use these 31 prompts for your own daily drawing challenge. While I didn't create drawings for all 31 days, I did manage 21 of them - which was a fantastic start for me. These gave me lots of new drawings to focus on for creating patterns, and I've been working away on finalizing them. 

One of my first and favourite patterns completed from my January drawing challenge was my new Moon Garden Floral Pattern! This was based on my day 3 prompt which was Botanical Dreams. When I saw this prompt, my thoughts went to night blooming flowers. When researching night flowers, I stumbled across Moon Gardens and I was immediately drawn to this concept. 

A moon garden is a garden that is filled with white, silver, or reflective petal plants that are meant to look beautiful when viewed in the moonlight at night. Since we're so used to enjoying gardens during the day, a garden created to be enjoyed at night is so unique. Since the flowers and foliage would have such a magical, glowing look in the moonlight, I thought moon gardens would be the perfect floral to focus on for my Botanical Dreams prompt. 
I drew flowers that can be found in a moon garden - moonflowers, angels trumpet, garden phlox and hosta leaves. The result is a white, green, yellow and pink garden scene on a dark navy blue background, with speckles of tiny flowers and blooms of larger ones.  

This pattern is now available for purchase on home decor, accessories and apparel! I'm listing the places you can find it below. I am particularly partial to the collection I've designed for Zazzle, as the accessories and drinkware in this pattern feature a customizable monogram, and I have designed these so you can change the background colour of your moon garden item.

Since designing my original bad cats knocking stuff over pattern back in 2020, it has become a permanent staple and best seller in my shop! It's an idea I had for a while after watching large, large amounts of cat videos on the internet, as apparently many of us do. Cat content on YouTube had garnered more than 26 billion views as of 2021, and I was (and still am) a huge purr-veyor of online cat videos contributing to this statistic. 

As my design became popular I decided that other cat varieties should get this spotlight too! My pattern has been around for a while in a siamese cats version and also a white cats version. In November I decided to revisit it and add 2 more - orange tabby cats and grey tabby cats! Orange tabby cats had been sitting in the WIP queue for a while now, and once I added the orange ones I just had to do grey tabby cats too. 

The two new versions are available on home decor, mugs, accessories, sticker packs and more at my three major marketplaces at RedBubble, Zazzle and Society6. 

My products are available on a wide range of giftable home decor, phone cases, and the ever popular mugs. While the pattern is available at all 3 of my major shops, the ones from Zazzle have elements that you can modify yourself to make your gift idea even more unique! You have the option of changing the background colour of my cat patterns to any colour imaginable, plus you can add a name or initial to create a custom monogram. Here are some of my favourite products designed in my new patterns to make great gifts for the holiday season.

Given the popularity of my bad cats knocking stuff over mug in particular, I decided to create it in monogram versions over at Zazzle. Available in both pattern colours, you can choose your background colour, choose the colour of your monogram and add your name and initial to the front and back. This way each cat mug you give as a gift can be unique per recipient!

Throw blankets are such a cozy gift idea for the winter, and they're made even better with a cute cat design. These super warm sherpa blankets are covered in edge to edge full colour print on the front, and ultra soft sherpa on the inside. Available in 3 different sizes in both of my new patterns. Choose any background colour for the pattern. Bonus points if your cat loving recipient has a grey or orange tabby cat - their cat might love this super cozy gift even more!

Where I live in Canada, single use plastic bags are a thing of the past and reusable bags are now an essential shopping accessory. These all over print tote bags from Zazzle are durable, vibrant and earth-friendly too. Designed with a custom monogram, you can add an initial and choose your own colours. Every shopping trip will be made even more fun accompanied with a funny cat pattern in colours picked just for you.

These thermal tumblers are double walled so you can take your favourite hot beverage with you on your morning commute. The top is equipped with a flip top lid to prevent spills. And best of all, its decorated in a full wrap of vibrant all over print, which I've decorated with my bad cats knocking stuff over pattern. I've added a monogram to this design, so you can customize it yourself with your own colours and initials. This makes a great gift for cat lovers who also enjoy a nice warm cup of coffee or tea in the morning!

I can't talk about gift ideas without bringing up these super cute pet products from RedBubble! I saw them available and had to add all of my patterns to them immediately. The mats are made for your cats and are FISH SHAPED - so cute! Pair it with a super cozy fleece pet blanket that your cat can sit on. They come shipped in a cardboard box too, which your cat may love better. Hey, I don't make the rules. But its the thought that counts! I've added all 5 of my bad cats pattern colours to these products, so you can find a pet mat or blanket that matches your cat!
