street. My design captures their ornamental motifs!
I did not set out to create a pattern in the Memphis style of the 1980's, but when I sat in my window seat and sketched the distinctive ornaments on the facade of the limestone and brownstone buildings across the street, the design elements begged to be set free and painted. Once in Illustrator, they asked to do a colorful happy dance with each other, and that dance reminded me of the joyful exuberant colors of the early years of MTV and all things post-modern, so I went for it! This view from my window captures the joyful energy, diversity, sense of possibility--and yes, chaos--of life in a major urban center. I hope it makes you feel energized and happy too! If you would like this pattern in a custom scale or colorway, please message me. I will do my best to work with you! And use #victoriabdesign and share what you create! I’d love to see itIn the meantime, I am going to take a walk around the neighborhood and see what I might discover!
