Over the winter it was a plan of mine to put together a fanzine including a collection of patterns that I had made with the idea of readers being able to copy and cut out the pages for personal use in their own art. Backgrounds, textures, whatever.
Inspiration was taken sheets of legal paper with brick or halftone dots that my father had in his old art supply box, growing up invested in hardcore punk culture and growing into a love for the harsh cut and paste collage that has been prevalent and consistent in my artistic journey despite changes in my personal interest. The simplicity and human touch each piece has is something that is so true to everyones unique craft, adding another layer into the onion fingerprint snowflake that we each are.
Creating these patterns my hope was not to see them be used on thousand times over, but to possible inspire just one person to create, whether that is creating something alined with prior interest or trying something totally new. Sharing inspiration and a piece of my motivation to create.
Below I've attached a Google Drive containing a collection of patterns that I had put together for the purpose of this zine not zine.
If you do use any of the patterns from this book please send them my way!
