Making chevron cool again

Chevron foldover bags

First of all, thank you, everyone, for your words of support on yesterday’s post. It’s been quite a trying week, but knowing that there are people out there who believe in me and my work makes it all a bit easier.

But on to happier things – new work!

There are certain trends that start out well, but then become so ubiquitous that you can’t believe that you ever liked it. Toile (remember that?), for example. Or suzani rugs. And the chevron print.

Okay, I still love chevron. But it’s become so boring, so expected. I decided to shake it up a bit, make it more abstract. I saw this dress (excellent use of chevron), started sketching, and came up with this.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with quick sketches, with getting an image onto a screen within a day. It’s a good exercise for me, and now that I have a lot more time to experiment, I don’t feel like I always have to save my precious Big Studio time to work on fully-formed, thought-out ideas. My work looks looser as a result.

I’ll share another new print with you tomorrow – also the result of a quick sketch. It’s pretty cool. If there’s ever a Project: Printmaker, you can go ahead and sign me up.

And you can find my bags in my shop.

  1. Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this
    blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
    Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

  2. Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a
    tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and
    I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had
    to ask!

  3. I am no longer positive where you’re getting your info, however great topic.
    I must spend some time learning more or figuring out more.
    Thanks for magnificent information I was in search of this information for my
    mission.
