Pattern Bliss

Here's a summer botanical print to start the week. Only good vibes! Art by Chris Olson.

This mark making pattern by Chris Olson began with ink and paint splatters--plus popsicle hue color swatches to create a spring and summer textile for kids. Her contemporary pattern features a whimsical and feminine take on plaid.

June makes me excited about summer and vacations by a lake. The weather is warmer. Canoes, swimsuits, and flip flops are the perfect choice. This month's pattern collection is all about Lake Life.

Some of my favorite places to stay on vacation are in a cozy cabin by a lake. There is something about the peacefulness and simplicity of the lakes and canoeing in the north woods. Maybe it's the absence of reliable wifi? 

Sharing a detail of a new print in a floral collection with a feminine tech vibe for Spring ’19 season. Collection features digital inspired florals that are sleek with a soft and feminine twist. Fresh designs added to my portfolio weekly. You can find more samples of my designs on Instagram. 

It's always fun to grab the paints and go wild with mark making tools. Some interesting textures and colors happen while stamping away. This project is just beginning. Getting messy in the studio today.

As always, you can find more of my designs over on Instagram here: http://www.instagram.com/chris_coco_olson/

I have a new collection of tropical patterns available for licensing on my website. Diving into the iridescent botanical trend, my designs feature a magical enchanted jungle motif. All designs are hand drawn by me. A bright and dreamy color palette perfect for spring and summer features many of my favorite popsicle colors.
