Paris Springtime
I was in the mood to play around with some watercolors. Watercolor effects, that is. I tried this and I tried that and things just started to come together. That’s how the creative process works sometimes.
This composition boasts hearts and tulips, a hint of a damask background, and the Eiffel Tower over which hovers a springtime script. The surroundings are awash with turquoise, violets and blues. Paris Springtime is featured on various products, including apparel like t-shirts, sweat shirts and pajamas. Other offerings include gifts items and things for the home and the office. Don’t forget bags and drinkware for a breath of spring you can take with you.

Mini Rose Antique Flourish Shoulder Bag
This shoulder bag features a mini rose illustration done using the Gradient Mesh feature in Illustrator. The collage in the background is a combination of antique flourishes and shadowy designs, all on the palest yellow background.
This antique mini rose design is also featured on many other items, including apparel, office items, housewares, gift items, bags, and drink ware. On most versions of this design, the yellow background fades off, but on some of the products where the background can bleed to the edges, the pale yellow background is extended to the edges.

Daffodil Grunge Throw Pillow
Daffodil Grunge Throw Pillow features an original illustration on a composited background of flourishes, grungy bits, and an Art Nouveau decorative corner. The leafy flourishes are not characteristic of Daffodils or Jonquils, it’s just some greenery to brighten things up.
The illustration was created drawn and rendered in Illustrator using the Gradient Mesh feature. I’m also working on a more detailed “painted” version in Photoshop, but it’s not ready for public consumption yet. Soon.
The Daffodil Grunge design is also featured on other products such as light apparel, more household pieces, office items, bags, trinkets boxes and other gift items, and drinkware. See them in my Lines By Design shop.
Love, Paris
Love, fashion, perfume, cafes, art, rich food, ornate decor. All of the these things come to mind when someone says Paris. This little composition pays homage to all we associate with that beautiful city. It’s like a love letter from Paris. The design features the Eiffel Tower, perfume bottles, dresses and dressmakers tools, a French swallow, ornate flourishes, along with a little bit of grunge. Can’t forget the grunge. Soft colorful pastels and a pale blue background.
This design has two flavors. On most items, the pale blue background fades off, but on items that allow it, the pale blue goes all the way to the edge. You’ll see. There are many products available featuring this design: apparel, household items, office items, trinket boxes and other gift items, bags, and drinkware.
