These are beautiful, I hope you do get them printed on fabric! That would be an amazing collaboration.
Thank you so much for the shoe link earlier today. I definitely ended up buying them. I also ended up changing my blog name and address after that brief chat the other day :o)
I don’t know about them being printed on fabric numerous times… Somehow I feel they would not be as striking–like they would have to share the spotlight. They would argue and… it wouldn’t be a pretty scene. I think I would rather see them as a series in a row on a clean, white wall. Kind of how you have them on your post.
yes, i definitely see what you mean. i should probably clarify by saying that i was thinking of using some of his art, but not necessarily any of the drawings in this post. in particular, he did a really great, colorful bird that would look lovely all around the hem of a skirt!
but also, i think he has plans to sell some of his drawings as art prints as well!
I LOVE BIRDS. The love is a mixture of admiration and jealousy. I see what you mean now. You know what would be cool? A plain cream dress with just one of his drawings printed on the whole thing… or just on the front. Anyway, I completely missed to mention the drawings are quite striking–you have quite the talented beau.
Ooooh Erin! I love this idea!! I have always wanted to create fabric from my artwork but the prints your bf have made are so wonderful and would work perfect!! I totally agree with the comment above- circle skirt!
I really love these images (and am not at all just saying that). Images of birds are always good in my book, and I also love the partitioned orange. And, just to join the imaginary clothing line discussion, I could imagine some drawings on an oversized collar on a dress or blouse… : )
I *love* these drawings! I’m a style newbie and a life long nature lover. I printed that drawing of the multicolored heron and pinned it on my wall. I look forward to every new drawing, esp of birds – they are such a wonderful companion to the technically precise illustrations in field guides – since they capture something essential about that species presence and yet are so playful with color and other details.
Btw, today’s illustration (6-27-11) made me google the signature and that lead me to this page. I for one would buy the prints (and originals) in a heartbeat.

These are brilliant! I would love to see them come together with his writing in a children’s book. I love illustrated stories.
that is such an excellent idea. i’m going to have to pass that idea along to him!
Love–especially the split open fruit–makes me think of an out of control vintage Vera graphic in a good way.
ooh i like! i would definitely buy a huge circle skirt printed with any of these!
yes! i was actually thinking of something like that! can’t wait to start working on our plans!
I so love these. Thanks for sharing

haha! dangerous territory, i tell you! i will always remember your tiny feet when i find a pair that just won’t fit me!
At least I will have a fabulous vintage shoe collection to comfort me when I go broke!

They are great! Well done, Brendan. Spoonflower.com do fabric printing and I’m told they’re very good and reliable, although haven’t used them myself.

I love his illustrations of the oranges!

I love piping plovers! or maybe that’s a sandpiper. either way, excited for future cloth print version for wearing!
His stuff is really amazing. The fabric print sounds cool, but I would love to own a couple of art prints.
i really loved the one of the artichokes!
