Verde

So, this is the last collection of the year. In a few days I will be leaving for my home country Brazil, for a couple of months, and I guess I got inspired by the summer, nature, and sun that I will find there. I can't wait to run away from the Canadian winter! Verde means green in Portuguese. Hope you like it!

Another collection

Another collection for the pattern surface design course I'm following.  

The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design

Last week I began module 2 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design, an e-course featuring Rachael Taylor, an amazing British surface pattern designer. Module 1 was great and module 2 has been even better! It's the first time I take an e-course and so far it has been amazing, I've been sketching a lot, making patterns and collections and sharing thoughts and experiences with a lot of great people from all over the globe. I feel more creative and happy about my work. I'm sharing with you some of the designs I've done so far. I still have a long way to go, and I can't wait to keep going!

Boo!

Somewhere...

Yesterday Nature was quite generous here in Montreal.

I've been daydreaming quite a lot lately...
Beautiful fall colors here in Montreal.

New promo kit

Here's my new promotional material. Once again Moo did a great job! This time I created a regular postcard, with space at the back so I can right a message, an interactive card, to cut and hang, and also some round stickers with a funny koala bear and another weird animals. I also printed some patterns and cut them in different shapes to make the envelopes. Hope my clients and my hopefully future clients like it!

 

 

Sneak peek...

Something that I've worked on but is not yet published. soon!

Bug City

I did this Bug city for the October issue of Chickadee Magazine. There's a lot of details, so it took me some time to do it, but I love the result!

Home Sweet Home Licensing Collection

Here's  a licensing collection I created. I felt like drawing the things that make my apartment my home, that make me feel comfortable and safe. I don't have a cat, but since I love them a lot, I decided to draw cats anyway, because I will definitely have some in the future. This collection is available for licensing. I would also be interested in being represented by a licensing agent.

And since I'm talking about licensing, I have some news. Next week I will start to virtually attend a surface design course, with surface pattern designer Rachael Taylor. I never did an e-course before, but I think I will like the flexibility of  it. I hope to learn a lot about the business and the making of patterns.
