DESIGNER ROUND UP

Today I am curating a designer round-up to highlight just a few of the talented P&P readers. First up is a selection of new work from Alice Perry, a freelance Surface Pattern Designer who works from a small studio in Devon. Alice has a love of hand sketching starting first with pencil then working on top with ink before adapting the designs digitally on the computer. Alice is currently seeking studio representation and welcomes freelance enquiries, you can get in touch via email info@aliceperrydesigns.com.

Next up (below) are some fun designs by Becki Clark.  Since March 13th 2014 Becki has been drawing or painting one pattern a day, Becki decided to start the project as she loves pattern and surface design and decided to make visual diary for the year. Each day the pattern is inspired by something Becki has seen that day, spoken about, or colours and shapes that she has noticed.
