A to Z Blogging Challenge 2025: H is for Fluevog Hess

 Day 8 of "Blogging from A to Z" with my annual (going on eight years) challenge of drawing Fluevog Shoes and creating repeating patterns with them. Eventually, these designs wind up on Redbubble and Spoonflower.

Today's footwear is the Fluevog Hess

In repeat

available on both Spoonflower and Redbubble

The background print on this one has a story… 

The print on the boot reminded me of a print I designed for the former day job. (I have a confession: when the company moved office, I took home most of my library of design printouts because they were going to trash them). So I tore through the closet where I keep the binders and couldn’t find the art! Argh! Then I remembered that I also copied all my design work onto an external hard drive when we were sent home for covid. Success! 

Created in 2007. 18 tears ago! What?????

Putting the binders back in the closet? Not as successful, yet. I keep tripping over them.

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.

Putting this one into repeat was a bear. I wanted to use the floral print as the background and all I had to work with was this boot-shaped floral thing (because I forgot how to mask a layer in Procreate):

Lots of hours in both Illustrator and Photoshop!
