Welcome December and Holiday Patterns!

Reflecting on 2020

Here we are welcoming December.  It’s been a year.  It’s the year that lipstick wasn’t necessary, and lapses in coloring and cutting had everyone sporting a new hairstyle, COVID HAIR.  

As hard as this year has been, I can honestly say that our family is blessed.  WE are all healthy!  There is a lot to be said for that.  We are bored, we are sad, missing everyone and craving adventures, but the fact that we are living and healthy goes a long way. Yet, we are bored.  I had to say it twice, because it is 2020 after all.  

As a surface pattern designer, moods can really affect your work.  When you aren’t feeling jolly it’s really difficult to create happy and joyous artwork.  The pandemic has presented itself as a worthy rival to both Holiday and Christmas artwork.  It’s the GRINCH and the BOOGEYMAN all rolled up into one grotesque package that I have so far successfully pushed to the side, while creating this year.   

By doing so I have created 4 holiday mini collections:

Holiday Village

Hog Wild Holiday

Santa and Gang

Wrapping Elves   

Happy Holidays!

As we all move through this December staying socially distanced and hopefully staying healthy- I hope you find joy and happiness with your families, no matter how small your bubble may be. 

See you in the new year!
