Daily Pattern: 80's Battle Scars

As an adult, needing a bandage is a rare occasion. But as a child, life was an unending string of scrapes, cuts and gashes.

Growing up in the eighties, the best part of falling off your skateboard was choosing what neon-colored, garishly-decorated badge-of-honor to wear over your boo-boo.



Hmmm, my eyes are burning. Maybe I let the eighties fever get the best of me on this pattern...

Weekend Update, Pets & Pattern Rally Contest

Summer is here at Paper Bicycle. Minneapolis has transformed into a sweltering hot, steamy jungle and we're sipping cold-press coffees and cranking the air conditioning. We've been going strong on our Daily Pattern Project and have been partnering with Illustration Rally for a three week Pattern Rally.

We're giving away a limited edition poster (Only a few left!!) as well as one of our sweet PB designed water bottles (your choice) to three lucky pattern-makers.



Head over to Illustration Rally and contribute to next week's topic. We have one week left for the "Pets" Entry.
I hope you have a chance to contribute! Click through to find out the details of how to submit! Happy weekend to you and please enjoy this 80's-montage-looking senior-photo-type picture of our cat Jade.

What a fitting picture to start off next week's pet themed pattern rally!
