New Ring Ring pattern

This is brand new pattern I created this week which I will be showing at SURTEX this month.
I think it'd make a fun wallpaper in a girl's room. I could also see it being used on fabric.
Ring Ring comes in 3 colour ways: retro pink, mint, and grey.

Below are my initial sketches for the pattern - drawn with a glass of rosé in hand FYI!

I was inspired to draw them after settling into the latest episode of Mad Men on Sunday night and catching an image of Trudy picking up the receiver of a fabulous orange 60s telephone.
I often find my favourite sketches are those done when I'm relaxed and have just settled into doing something else. :-)





Honouring my Brother Shawn



Last August I lost my brother Shawn Cavanagh. 
Shawn was an incredible person and also an elementary school teacher + gifted marathon runner.
This weekend his memory is being honoured with a memorial run in Mississauga organized by Garthwood Public school - where he taught for 18 years.
Friends and family along with many of his former students will be running.
All proceeds will go to CAMH. More info can be found here. 
Thanks so much to Garthwood for helping to keep Shawn's memory alive. 
He will be in our hearts and minds always.
