@Mia-Clarke LoL I feel like this is what all as illustrators are trying to avoid. His expression says it all!

@Tom-Harshberger your pigeon’s expression is good!

@Asyas_illos Ooh, I love the design of this!

[Sarah VanDam]

Hi @kirsten-mcg, thanks for your kind words! A few of my patterns just went on sale this week after my physical proofs were approved, so only time will tell.

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @Sarah-VanDam! Very kind of you.

Hi Gang! With Valentine's Day around the corner, I decided to make a new pattern of hearts inspired by the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year "Viva Magenta".

Also, I've added my surface pattern designs to my website under a new tab titled, "fabrics".

https://www.jeremyrayross.com/fabrics.html

Finally, thought to share that my pink and baby blue bunnies surface pattern design made the top 10% in the Spoonflower Contest! Overall, there were 1500 entries! I guess I had to find another contest to join now that SVS abandoned Sweet 16 Critique Arena (a hole in my heart)...

@Jeremy-Ross quickly checked it out, but it's awesome, there are so many different products and even fabrics for sewing. Love it! Will look into it more. Maybe it's time to replace the curtains in Lisa's room.

I did my first #dtiys on Instagram. It was one that @carlianne posted on her IG account. It was really fun to do. It was also nice to not be the one who had to come up with the idea . Thanks @carlianne

[carlianne]

@Kim-Rosenlof I love that you added more story to it! I wasn't in the mood

[Kim Rosenlof]

@carlianne Thanks. I thought yours was great. At first I put a bird but my children were scared for the bird, so I put a rabbit that could run away fast if there was any danger .

@Jeremy-Ross I love Spoonflower!! Found them a few years ago and had them in the back of my mind as a potential revenue stream. I love your stuff! @NessIllustration has a tutorial on her YouTube channel, which I saved and intend to get started eventually, just setting up a simple file.

I've been working alot lately and am getting caught up on everyone here. Love all the updates!!!! I would love a list of contests you are referring to... I need stuff to keep focused on.
