Print Ideas for 2012


Under the Microscope – science and design collide with detailed images shown in overblown scale. 



 Ink Blot Camos – watercolor and ink spots create an organic update. 



 Eastern Color Block – influenced by Bauhaus and Mondrian with a hand painted feel.



Pop Art Conversationals – bold, outlined shapes take inspiration from Roy Lichtenstein’s technique. 



Tribal Wash – ethnic prints that are hand-painted yet look as if rain has washed part of the design away



Abstract Elements – tie-dye textures that take inspiration from the earth such as minerals and other organic matter.



Bohemian Folk - geometrics, paisleys and floral designs influenced by Ballets Russes. 


Baroque Opulence – rich, ornamental, embroidery inspired designs with an antique feel.



Geometrical prints - all about irregular shapes and designs.




Floral Prints: floral impacts are so stylish and trendy, they give you a fashionable and trendy look.
