Blog of Dutch artist Tim Hupkes

I am momentarily working on several different surface design collections. One of them stars zebras! Zebras combine very well with loads of colours. It is very challenging for me me to not go overboard: I adore colours!

Zebras on a yellow background with light yellow zebra stripes — *Striped Jungle: yellow*

Zebras on a purple background with lilac zebra stripes — *Striped Jungle: purple*

Zebras on a blue background with light blue zebra stripes — *Striped Jungle: blue*

Steep learning curve

I am learning a lot designing this way. There is so much to consider! How to get beautifully fitted repeat patterns, so that you don’t end up with half a tail of a zebra on your wallpaper or bedding with a head attached to it (yikes!)

Availability

Once my patters are ready to go – and I am not making any promises as to when I can have this done 😳 – they will be available via POD* websites. This way you can have them printed on your mobile case, throw pillow and what-not!

*POD: print on demand. There are a few very popular sites which offer this, among them is Society6.

Embrace, abstract painting — *I am considering having some of my abstract art printed on items as well! How would this Embrace look on a throw pillow? I wouldn’t mind having that on my couch!*
