> Spring will kick in soon! Time for some Little Smilemakers Florals!

The past few months have been very busy and productive so there was no time to get some new surface patterns online for stock. After weeks of work i took an afternoon off to design some new spring themed patterns for fabric and stationary. This is a small preview of a series of colorful spring 2013 surface patterns. They will be available in my Designalicious shutterstock portfolio.

> I saw myself up there!

Yesterday i passed a book store and saw myself there. My illustration was used on a new 'womans' book. It is an illustration i made a few years ago. An illustration based on a photo in which i am dancing at Gay Palace Rotterdam. Only i know the whole story now. When i see this cover i reminds me of the good old times!
