A lot of big changes happening in my life recently, so I have been away from Instagram for a moment, but here's a little peep at some unused design sketches from a past client project 🌸 #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #pattern #surfacepatterndesign #printandpattern #repeatpattern #patternobserver #torontoillustrator #artlicensing #torontomaker #textiledesign

A Valentine's recipe in honour of my grandparents' love story. Married on Valentine's Day 68 years ago, my grandparents' love story began. They are no longer with us but their story continues through their love of little indulgences. This recipe for hot fudge sauce is one of my family’s favourites to this day & it was one of my grandparents' go-to ways to satisfy any sweet tooth. My grandparents loved this recipe so much that when they were living in Japan, they couldn’t find their copy of the recipe, and my grandma wrote a letter to the company asking for the recipe and they responded happily to make sure they had their favourite treats while they were overseas. In honour of their love and love of sweet treats, Happy Valentines Day! Hot Fudge Sauce 4 ounces Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate 6 tbsp water 2 tbsp butter 1/4 cup sugar - Cook + stir chocolate and water on low heat until chocolate is melted + smooth. - Add sugar and stir until dissolved. - Bring to a boil + simmer gently for 4 minutes stirring constantly. - Remove from heat + add butter. - Serve warm over your favourite vanilla ice cream + cherry on top. #valentine #valentinesday #dessert #valentinesdessert #recipeillustration #recipe #icecream #lovestory #surfacepattern #illustration #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #printandpattern #torontoillustrator #artlicensing #100dayswithsabina @bakerschocolate

Staying at home & the spaces we occupy. The feeling of loneliness and isolation is abundant at this time and you are not alone in this feeling. I think we all would benefit from a change of scenery. Happy Monday! Bringing you day 22 of #100dayswithsabina , prompt: pandemic. This pandemic has lasted wayyy too many Mondays and I wish we could have a countdown of how many Mondays there are left until life is back to normal. #100dayswithsabina #pandemic #stayathome #apartments #surfacepattern #illustration #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #printandpattern #repeatpattern #patternobserver #torontoillustrator #artlicensing

Today is a big day! Juliet Meeks is hosting her first FREE workshop tonight & enrolment to her full course, Licensing for Artists, is OPEN for enrolment! I took Juliet’s full course last June and had an amazing experience. It made me so motivated, I felt that my goals, which were dreams at the time, suddenly became actionable. This course teaches you about art licensing and also includes incredibly valuable information about building client relationships, marketing, and establishing yourself in the art industry. If you are interested in hearing more about my experience, I did an interview with Juliet that you can watch on the course enrolment page, in the link in my bio. It’s open for enrollment right now through February 3rd. I’m sharing more about it in my stories, so head over there or to the link in my bio to get more details and see if it’s right for you. Feel free to comment with any questions or DM me for more info. For transparency, my link is an affiliate link for her course, and I may receive a percentage of any enrollments. I only recommend products or courses I truly believe in! @julietmeeksdesign #affiliate #licensingforartists #surfacedesign #printandpattern #surfacepattern #illustration #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #repeatpattern #patternobserver #torontoillustrator #artlicensing

I am not one to drink a cup of black coffee, but there is something about coffee culture that intrigues me. There is something collective yet individualistic about it. As many participate in coffee culture on a daily basis, there is also such divisive energy about what is the right, wrong, and absurd way to enjoy a cup of anything. It is an idea synonymous with taking a break, treating yourself, having a routine, and even merely keeping you awake. Maybe it is comforting to some and a source of relaxation, but maybe it is a source of needing to work faster, be awake longer and get your heart racing a little more than usual. Stay tuned for the rest of this little coffee series.

When I graduated last spring and was trying to navigate being freshly out of school (in a pandemic) I was looking for some industry specific knowledge to jumpstart me into my career. I made a great decision to enroll in @julietmeeksdesign Licensing for Artists course and it has made me feel so prepared to confidently approach my dreams! Luckily enough @julietmeeksdesign is teaching a FREE online workshop you won’t want to miss on January 27th + 28th: How to Get Noticed and License Your Art. Register at the link in my bio! Although I am still establishing myself and navigating the design world myself, I can truly attest to her quality of knowledge and what she has to share. For transparency, my link is an affiliate link for her larger course, Licensing for Artists, and I may receive a percentage of any enrollments after the workshop. I only recommend products or courses I truly believe in! #affiliate #licensingforartists #surfacedesign #printandpattern

Plucked!

Right before our initial lockdown hit back in March, I took a really great workshop at @colourcodeprint and never really shared the results, so here it is! I absolutely love the texture and colour risograph printing creates and I look forward to using this technique again.⁠ ⁠ Although this is a throwback, today’s prompt for #100dayswithsabina is flowers, so I’ll say this counts 🌷 ⁠ #risograph #risographprinting #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #pattern #surfacepatterndesign #printandpattern #repeatpattern #torontoillustrator

Take a scroll through my dream mug collection! I have been dreaming of going to cafes in real life recently 💭 With everything going on in the world right now I think we all deserve a latte and a couple quiet moments. Hopping onto a 100 Day Art Challenge by @sabinafenn ! A few days late but I’ll probably post a handful from her prompts. This is day 1, prompt: cafe! What do you think, should I make this into a pattern? #100dayswithsabina #cafe #surfacepattern #illustration #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #pattern #surfacepatterndesign #printandpattern #repeatpattern #patternobserver #torontoillustrator #artlicensing

I have been absolutely blown away by all the love and support with my project with Wrappr. I hope everyone who has ordered enjoys them and passes on the love! #givenowaste A little about the collection, Wintergreen is inspired by the gathering and collecting of winter vegetation. Its composition is inspired by the traditional wreath which is often a symbol of coming together and celebration which is perfect for the holiday season. Even though gatherings may look a bit different this year, winter greens are a true reminder of resilience and of how even in the coldest of months, they can thrive. My Wintergreen Collection is still available at the link in my bio!

I got the amazing opportunity to work with @givewrappr to create designs for their reusable gift wraps for their Holiday/Winter 2020/21 season! Wrappr is no-waste alternative in the gift-giving industry, reinventing the traditional idea of furoshiki fabric wraps from Japan. My Wintergreen Collection is available at the link in my bio, as well as several local boutiques and stores!

I’ve been working digitally a lot recently but it’s always nice to step back and play with some paint! Recently keeping motivated is something that has been at the top of my mind - I have been reading a lot and trying to nurture creativity in whatever form it comes, without putting too much pressure on the outcome! #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #pattern #surfacepatterndesign #artoftheday #printandpattern #repeatpattern #artistsofinstagram #patternobserver #torontodesigner #surfacepatterncommunity #artlicensing

Happy Halloween! Hope your festivities are spooky and safe this year! Had so much fun working on this little pumpkin painting project, got to spend some time dreaming up in the clouds, using some sparkly stars to guide the way to play with picking flowers and playing with patterns. These didn’t turn out too spooky and scary but I think these are more fun! #halloween #pumpkin #pumpkinpainting #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #pattern #surfacepatterndesign #artoftheday #printandpattern #repeatpattern #artistsofinstagram #patternobserver #torontodesigner #artlicensing
