Here's a poster I designed for Lilla Rogers Assignment Bootcamp. Had a bunch o' fun working on this.

Neglecting my painting terribly, I forge on with the pattern design attempts. Here's another. I tried to keep it a bit simpler this time. The theme is bees, which, owing to their contributions to the beauty and bounty of planet earth, I adore. MuWaH!

Islands theme contest on Spoonflower
