Daily Pattern : Showers

Topic : Nice

Agh! I'm a little late with this one, but I got it covered!
I had it almost finished and then my computer ran out of batteries last night! AND, my charger was nowhere to be found! Darnit!
Like Francesca, I thought of the weather! Some of my favorite days are the grey ones with a little bit of rain. I made this pattern with a bunch of funny umbrellas to celebrate the bit of rain we've been getting in Minneapolis. The best is the smell after it rains on a fall day.



I can't believe it's almost October! Where did the whole month go?! Even if it's a little later than I though, I'm excited to spend October in a jacket and hoodie, with my boots on. Love the weather we'll be getting! So, so nice.

Daily Pattern: Nice Weather

Topic: Nice

I had a completely different thing, all drawn out and ready to go (maybe I'll be able to use those icons in another pattern) when I remembered I had to run out to the store for something. As I was leaving, the cashier asked if I got to enjoy the nice weather and I almost did a facepalm. Of course! Weather is the nicest.
I made a pattern about the nicest weather around.

Daily Pattern: Minnesota Nice

I know Minnesota Nice refers to the always-polite-and-generous attitude of the locals, but I'd say it's pretty applicable to the environment as well.

I'd be willing to bet that if you're anywhere in the Twin Cities area, 15 minutes is the longest you'd have to walk to find a body of water and some huge, lush trees.

In Minneapolis alone there's three creeks, twelve lakes, three large ponds, a fair sized waterfall, five wetlands and, of course, the massive Mississippi River running through downtown.

Whether I'm at home or work, sometimes I forget just how easy it is to get away from the work-a-day world and back to nature if I want to.



Also, here's version with some blatant text on it, for good measure.

Daily Pattern: Nice People

Topic: Nice

“Nice is a difficult word to define, much less illustrate...so I thought about all of the other words we use that can mean nice, and while looking through the sketchbook I was jotting them down in, I noticed that I draw a lot of happy, goofy people who would have nice hair if they were real. I kept it 2-color because my sketchbooks are usually just pen and ink. I like to think that all of the people in my pattern are nice people!”
