Surface pattern design and illustration.
Welcome to OcuLoop’s blog about illustrating and designing repeat seamless patterns for fabrics and surfaces and the process that goes into each concept. Topics will include patterns specifically designed for home decor such as wallpaper and curtains to fabric designs geared toward fashion as well as artwork to be framed and hung on a wall. OcuLoop hopes our readers will find inspiration here and also enjoy this journey into pattern design and illustration as we see where it takes us.

To get started I opened a new Adobe Illustrator document and began sketching flowers - all kinds of flowers, and I worked on experimenting with various illustration techniques.

Bold geometric shapes of the seventies combined with a jewel color palette. The surface pattern design is reminiscent of beetles encased in glass and worn like jewels.
