No, I will not copy another artist's work. You may show me a mood board that aligns with your brand that I can then create distinctive patterns in my style, keeping your aesthetic in mind. Brands and small businesses that work with me come to me for art in my distinctive style and point of view. I encourage brands and small businesses to seek licensing opportunities with other artists for work that may better align with a different style.

Can I show you art that I like from somewhere else and have you copy or recreate it?

When licensing patterns or collections from my pattern library, you may request minor tweaks or color changes to existing patterns that better fit your brand aesthetic. Note that these requests may require more turnaround time. If major changes are requested, it can incur additional hourly editing fees.

When licensing patterns or collections through the custom pattern route, major changes from the creative meeting/request or that significantly depart from the initial artwork for review may also require additional hourly editing fees.  Major edits include changes to layout, scale, repeat structure, changes to multiple design elements, or overall composition. Minor edits are limited to small, non-structural changes including one or two color adjustments or a minor modification for a single design element that does not affect the overall composition, layout, or repeat of the Artwork and does not require changes to surrounding elements. Two rounds of minor revisions are part of my custom pattern route process.

Can I ask for motif or color changes to a pattern I want to license?

Pattern Art FAQs

There are multiple factors that come into play -- the amount of time to agree to mutually beneficial licensing terms, the complexity of the design or edit work, my creative flow, etc.  I always strive to be efficient, but I prioritize the integrity of the pattern result.  Quality art requires time, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and even just the administration of preparing files can take time. If turnaround time is a top priority, selecting an existing pattern from the pattern library is a good route to take.

What is the turnaround time to license your patterns?

Brands and small businesses come to me for art in my distinctive style and point of view. So if you request a sunflower, I will create a sunflower in my specific art style that you see demonstrated throughout my website. For some companies, they may need to fulfill a design need in another style, and I welcome them to work with other artists to accomplish those goals. I never expect nor require that you only use me for your art and pattern needs.

Can you create art in different styles?

What is your creative medium of choice and your art creation process?

What is your creative medium of choice and your art creation process?

I hand draw and paint every part of my surface pattern designs.  Imagine you are drawing and painting on a piece of paper, but instead, my pencil / paint brush is an Apple pencil, and my paper is my iPad.  This is different than Artificial Intelligence designs or using clip art to assemble patterns.  I never generate art with artificial intelligence, and I never use clip art or other motifs created by someone else.  Every element is something dreamed in my head, planned out, and drawn / painted using my own hand into my iPad programs.  My designs can range from simple to complex with intricate details.  The color palettes are often soft and muted, but can also be rich, moody, or bright depending on the seasonal theme.

What file types can you produce?

I'm comfortable delivering files in any form required.  I have made patterns in both vector and raster forms, though I mostly produce raster patterns now, as I like the resulting textures and details.  I'm often asked for my repeat tile file in 300 dpi high res PNG or JPEG files, or I have also prepared files using the dimensions of the final product and delivered in PDF form.  Once the final file is delivered to you, you then can work with your manufacturer to produce your end products within the parameters of the licensing agreement.
