Minneapolis Skyline

After moving to Minneapolis, MN in 2005, I fell in love with the city. It's the reason I've made this city my home. To extend my series of Minneapolis/St Paul illustrations, I've created another cut-paper illustration of the Minneapolis skyline. Enjoy :)

Fall Damask Pattern

I recently expanded my knowledge of how-to-create patterns, and this time, I learned how to damask. I sort of knew how, but couldn't quite achieve success. So, that being said, this Fall damask pattern is actually my first successful one! I love how it turned out, too. I see many damask patterns in my "making" future :)

Patterns for Fall

Here are a few of the patterns I've been working on for the Fall season. Fall is by far my favorite time of year. I love the colors of the leaves, the complimentary colors of clothes, the crisp air, the cooler weather. I just love fall!







The pattern of acorns is meant to have many different background color options to choose from.

Wells Fargo Place St Paul

Here is another cut-paper illustration. This one is a mix of mainly cut-paper, and a bit of colored pencil. This illustration is of Wells Fargo Place, located in downtown Saint Paul, MN.

IDS Center Minneapolis

So here is another cut-paper illustration. This one is 100% cut paper, and though it was a challenge, it was a lot of fun. It's the IDS Center, which is located in downtown Minneapolis, MN.
