Greetings from Planet Botz

[I originally wrote this over two years ago]
Here is my submission to ArtHouse's Infinite Scroll... Space (link probably no good, so no link).
It features my robot guys hanging out on a small gnarly rainbow planet (inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupery).

I created the robot art at work for boys knit boxers back in 2005. I was alarmed to discover that the digital files are nowhere to be found. I had to scan a printout to get the above done. Grrrrrr.

[Fast forward to today]

Little did I know then that there'd be an app called Tiny Planet that would replicate this sort of thing. And that I'd use it almost every day, turning my day's outfit into a #tinyplanet

Chicken Marsala Collection and Marsala Link-up Party.

Hello my pattern friends.
I've been working on a collection "inspired" by the Pantone color of the year: Marsala.

It all coalesced last week driving home from work.
"Chicken Marsala": antique chicken graphics combined with old fashioned plaids, stripes, and ditsies.
I've uploaded a bunch of graphics to my Society6 Pattern account. Still working on the repeats for Spoonflower.
(I really don't want to sit here and vectorize ditsies at home when I do it all day at work).

Here are some screen grabs from Society6:
a chicken marsala tee for that man in your life

Did I mention my Marsala link-up party?
