Surface Pattern Design - Snakes & Shears Collection

As seen in my “Snakes & Shears” collection, I particularly enjoy the challenge of making repeating patterns from detailed and complex illustrations. Working in a vector format also gives me the flexibility to make every design easily scaleable. Based on the Two of Swords tarot card, these patterns draw on my fantastical illustration style and occult symbolism to create a unique image. Consisting of one main seamless pattern with four accompanying secondary patterns, this set creates a cohesive, yet versatile product line.
