1- BOTANICAL ANATOMY
Vintage botanical illustrations create a beautiful connection between nature and anatomical studies. Foliage, exotic birds and insects are creatively entwined with body parts or skeleton elements.
2- DEEP ROOTS
Mother Nature takes over with the twisted roots, branches and twigs of ancient trees of life. Morphing with and emerging from man made objects as a way of reminding us of her power.
3- NATURES LENS
Taking a close up look at the intricate details of nature. The delicate beauty of dragon fly wings, the unique patterns of reptile skin or the stunning variety of bird feathers all form inspiration for seamless patterns or textural detail.
4- ENTOMOLOGY
An exploration of the natural history of insect specimens and studies. The variety of insects on this planet is vast, all providing their own unique shapes, colors and patterns to inspire print design. From fluttering butterflies to creepy crawly arthropods.

Jungle leaves tumble and flowers entwine letters to create sophisticated typography prints. Weave in a few snakes or insects to create T-Shirt print designs teeming with life.

Vintage botanical studies are the key influence for floral designs. Stems, stalks, stamens and petals are combined to create moody botanical prints in illustrated or painted finishes.
7- FEATHERS
Big, small, soft, plentiful, or exotic. The feather motif is timeless and fascinating. The natural beauty and extraordinary variety of bird feathers provides an endless resource for T-Shirt print design.
