I’ve never been much of a pattern-maker, but this new job and some recent clients have helped me get in the groove of pattern design. Sourcing inspiration on a daily basis, it’s been fun to come across trends in this realm. Right now I’m particularly drawn to these painterly patterns — and yeah, pretty much painterly anything — it’s getting bad! Are you drawn to the more hand-painted look, or do you like your patterns simple and graphic? Better yet, a mix of both?

Also, if you have any recommendations for pattern inspiration, I’m all ears! I mostly find inspiration as I’m browsing unrelated blogs and pinterest, so any go-to sources would be super appreciated.
