Patterns?!?
So, these are late, but a month or two ago, I did a bunch of patterns for Paper Bicycle’s Daily Pattern Project. Here they all are collected for your enjoyment:

Topic: Storm

Topic: Luxury

Topic: Myth

Topic: Ring

Topic: Owls
Beard-o
I did another pattern for Paper Bicycle’s Daily Patterning. The theme in question: Hairy. Something I am reasonably familiar with.
Here it is, inspired by my very own beard (only loosely):

And here is a bigger version of the face. I put way too much detail in the hair shapes, they all get lost when it gets small, and half of them vanished completely in the pattern. If I had, had more time I might have addressed some of that, but alas, I did not.

All of this was done in Illustrator, a program I don’t use very much any more to make actual illustrations, It was fun to do something more involved with it again.
