Early this past summer, we went on a multi-family camping trip to Refugio State Beach up the California coast. We enjoyed sunny days, dense rolling walls of afternoon fog, and thick tangles of tourmaline colored seaweed laying in sandy clumps as though it had fallen off a mermaid’s hairbrush.
Here are some in-process photos of a card I recently created for a friend.
Recently, I received an email asking about Haiku in a Prism, one of the Gems pattern colorways I offer on Spoonflower (a digital fabric printing website).
I’m pretty happy with the final results of this pattern study. As simple as it appears, it seems to have endless color possibilities, and better: it has one or two satisfying quirks that elevate it beyond mere “floral”.
Another concept for punched and perforated steel.
Terri Herbert spent years as a marine biologist with a deep connection to dolphins before a recent career change to Feldenkrais® practitioner.
Returning to this awkwardly-named, but endlessly-intriguing motif, I filled a few more pages in a sketchbook and decided to pursue a loosely drawn “garden”.
Though I can’t divulge details, I’m permitted to share a couple of screenshots and wireframes from this new project.

I find it half fascinating, half maddening. It can be bulbous and comical or elegant and mysteriously harmonious. Its leaf-like form and the fascinating ways it can tightly repeat make it seem archetypal. One site’s onion is another site’s paisley, ogee or persian pickle, and the meanings of all those terms overlap and blur.
This ink and watercolor drawing is part of a paisley study series I did awhile ago, and is still the most popular.
