#portfolioday, unless it was yesterday. I'm an artist and designer, currently specializing in #patterndesign. I work in a mix of traditional and digital techniques, with absolutely NO AI. I can make it look like crap on my own, thanks.

I know that time is an illusion, but I didn't realize that it had been a year and a half since I'd updated my Behance portfolio. www.behance.net/gallery/2399...

Wow, Threads sure did a thing:
Two side by side "Suggested for you" account images from Threads, the first from Monica Lewinsky, the second from Hillary Clinton.

Ancestrally, anyway. The town where my dad and grandmother were born played the part of Van Lear in the movie.
Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn, in a long brunette wig and white lace dress, her eyes closed, singing into a microphone, with the words "Coal Miner's Daughter" overhead.

For this week's @spoonflower Palm Springs challenge, I wanted to do something reminiscent of the prints that were worn in its 60s heyday, using iconic images of the time. So we've got palm trees and cacti and breeze blocks, of course, plus big plastic beads and big teased hair. #patterndesign

May I offer you a cozy culinary pattern in these trying times? Both the French and Italian are available from Spoonflower in all four colors, if you like that sort of thing. #patterndesign #surfacepatterndesign

Today is for mezes puszedli, Hungarian soft gingerbread cookies with an egg white and powdered sugar glaze. I used a recipe I found online from a site called Kabi's Kitchen, just adding a pinch of salt and doubling the spices, and they turned out to be fantastic. 10/10 will make again.

Linzer cookies, both raspberry and lekvar, accomplished with hardly any swearing at all. I used the Joy of Cooking's recipe (aka the Viennese Crescents with a little lemon zest, rolled and cut out), which is very easy to work with, and extremely good.

I guess it's time to finally post something on here. Pattern design is one of the things I do, and this is a tiny bit of one of my latest collections. It's over on Spoonflower, if you like that sort of thing.
