Ink Pattern Hats
Description: A loud, hand drawn portrait built for people who like their graphics with attitude. This bold street art illustration features a stylized character in a knit beanie, framed by a dense field of squiggles, dots, spirals, and wavy line doodles in warm gold against a crisp background. Heavy black ink outlines, a sticker style border, and punchy red display lettering give the piece a sharp graffiti poster feel that reads clearly from across the room. The design blends urban doodle art, retro cartoon energy, and modern skate graphic style into one eye catching composition. Primary colors and high contrast linework keep it vibrant on light or dark apparel, stickers, posters, mugs, phone cases, and tote bags.
Description: Gouache and watercolors bleed and clash, but this is not a conflict. Lines and patterns create boundaries, sometimes overlap, but no territory can be claimed. The unconscious being manifested on paper to create some identity for itself, but it's non-existence and changes often like clouds that pass through the open sky. The “Builder” suggests a moment’s pause and enjoy what is right in front of you.
Description: I started this mini-series back in 2016 and, honestly, didn't know what the end result would be. At the time, I was just cranking them because they were fun, and I completed one within a few hours. The majority of the Skulls and Buddhas series are either 4x6 or 5x7 inches. It always seemed to me that the symbolism of skulls and the Buddha (in a meditative pose) is similar. In the practice of sitting meditation, we confront the inescapable reality of impermanence, and the skull often symbolizes mortality. The simple fact that we will have to face our own last breath.
