My graphics page is up! This is a huge labor of love (and hoarding) that has taken me multiple days to get through. I noticed in my searches for backgrounds and textures online, there wasn't a ton of things that I really gravitate towards-- subway tile patterns, printed patterns, fabric, paper textures, etc. At least not any that appealed to my very specific tastes.
So I figured I'd rifle through the boxes I still hadn't unpacked since moving 5 years ago (ouch), and scan in some of my own samples. It was grueling! But I'm glad it's done. I'll have to make them tileable over the coming months, but for now I'm going to take a break from staring at patterns in photoshop.
I haven't read the books you listed, but I enjoyed reading what you had to say, and certainly look forward to more of your writings on things.
thank you swiftred!! it means a lot to get a writing compliment from you. i just showed my partner "outrun your dad" and she loved it.
I'm so thrilled about the art resources you've linked. I need need need to come back here and really take time to sift through everything. Much thanks
Bear!!!
