A lovely set for you today: some flat-design style cloth & marble textures, and a lapis-and-bronze faux-marble to go with them. Right-click on the images and ‘save as’ to get them for yourself, print them out for signs or scrapbooking, or use them in your own digital creations! As always, these are Creative Commons licensed (CC:BY), so you’re welcome to...

Four for you today – two digital paintings of some nice modish 70s tiles, a close-up of a rather battered and abused skip (red paint faded to pink, scratched off to let the steel rust), and an oil slick on a tarmac road. As always, these will print out at around A4 at 300dpi, and the yellow stars should be...

If you were my patron, you’d already have received your link to a high-resolution downloadable version of this! And not just the purple, but a black & white version too, and a single bat for whatever graphic design purposes your generous (and spooky) heart could possibly desire. But all is not lost! Do not let your heart fall into despair!...

Here’s a set of three digital paintings, each based on one of August’s colour palettes. As always, they’ll print at 300dpi on A4, and they’re Creative Commons licensed (CC:BY), which means that you can use them for absolutely anything you like, but if you’re going to make money from them, you must acknowledge me by name & link. First, we...

Four more textures for you—three of them are versions of the same design, and I couldn’t choose between them. First, a repeating pattern of double-spiral roundels: And second, the same with a more complex graduated background: And third, a low-relief white-on-white version which reminds me of the old-time TARDIS control room roundels. And lastly, layer on layer of messy, tangled...

Here’s a glimpse of a new Shakespeare image, a visual setting of Ariel’s song from The Tempest. If you were a patron of mine, then you’d be able to download a high-resolution copy to print out! As it is, if you’re not, then you’ll have to wait till the whole set (a dozen or so prints, each with an iconic...

This week’s set of free graphic textures will be a little late, but what I do have (for Patreon patrons only) is this lush desktop wallpaper set. It’s from Shakespeare’s Richard III, Act 1 Scene 1, juxtaposing an antique printed script with a manuscript version, over a rich brown field. It might be the brown of leather, or a horse’s...

Here’s the second set of free colour textures—you can expect more weekly, probably on a Wednesday. Each of these is sized to print at a resolution of 300dpi at A4 size. First, we have a flat field of warm grey splashed with foxglove-purple stars. (Right-click on the thumbnail to download the full-size version.) Next, we’ve got two different old-book textures....

I’ve been experimenting with reversible pendants, with a different but related sentiment on each side. This is part of the Nights at the Circus series; the other side says “antic dreaming”, and this is the first prototype. It’s basically fine, but there’s one assembly problem, which is that the depth of the ribbon loop is noticeable, and it takes an...
