Fluevog Pearl Hart Updated!

I'm in the process of updating sketches and repeats that I created in 2017.

Here's the new Pearl Hart sketch

The 2017 version was a different colorway

A to Z Blogging Challenge 2026: E is for Fluevog Een

 Day E of "Blogging from A to Z" with my annual (going on nine years) challenge of drawing Fluevog Shoes and creating repeating patterns with them. These designs are available for purchase on Redbubble (T-shirts, mugs, phone cases, stickers, etc) and Spoonflower (fabric, wallpaper, and home goods).

Today's footwear is the Fluevog Een

In repeat

available on both Spoonflower and Redbubble

The A to Z Challenge is held every April. The challenge is to blog through the alphabet every Monday through Saturday. The “A” theme is blogged on April 1st, “B” April 2nd, etc.
More about the challenge can be found on the official Blogging from A to Z Challenge Blog.
Here's the link to the Master List, with all the official participants 

#AtoZchallenge 2023: U is for Unity Penney

U required more fudging - Unity is the Fluevog family name, it's the sole style.

I first drew the Fluevog Penney in burgundy

then green, which I put into repeat

then black

Do you have a favorite?

This month, I will be blogging my way through the alphabet,

Another redraw required:

#AtoZchallenge O is for Fluevog Odette

Fluevog Odette link

From Fluevog:
"Having quite the soft spot for misfits, John created The Esoteric Temptations Family to prove that even outsiders can find a common home – as Fluevogers of course!  The Odette is an homage to every misrepresented Witch of the West there ever was. Virtually commanding a double take from every angle, these outstanding mary janes feature the supplest of leather, a dramatic 3" heel to die for, a subtly bumped toe and a custom skull buckle. A perfect fit for the bold, unafraid and unapologetic, these shoes/statement-makers will have routine skeptics thinking: Dorothy who? Temptations…be vigilant, protect your sole."

Odette is part of the same family as Fantine, which I drew two years ago. 

I recycled Fantine's repeat elements:

#AtoZchallenge A is for Fluevog Aimee

Happy April 1st!
That means another month of Fluevogs A to Z commences.
I will once again go alphabetically through Fluevog shoe designs, some currently available, some discontinued.

The Fluevog Aimee starts our month:

I like how the shoe looks like it's melting in my progression of sketches.

I had a whole layout of all the shoe angles:

Ultimately, I went with the top sketch and made the repeat with all the colorways that I could find:

What is this whole A to Z thing? Read more here!

And the results are in...

How did I do in the Spoonflower challenge?
Did not make the top 25, alas.

The top ten:

Did any of my own votes make the cut?

Nope. Never did consider myself part of the vox populi.

The next challenge I'm entering is another "limited palette" theme called Monochrome.

This time, I'm entering a painterly abstract design, which I'll share next month at voting time.

Submissions close on March 13, for all you print designers out there.
