I have sooo many #inktober2017 spreads in my #sketchbook that I haven’t shared yet I may have to post the in batches... here’s a simple one from days 5 & 6. It’s difficult for me to keep things simple when I’m sketching so that’s a feat in itself . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #abstractart #geometric #sketchbook #sketch #sketchaday #ink #drawing #drawingaday #artistsoninstagram #makersgonnamake #carveouttimeforart #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign #inktober #pen #brushpen #mono #monochrome
INSPIRATION ❤️ Sonia Delaunay ‘Color Rhythms’ 💙 are you on Pinterest? If so would love to connect with like-minded pinners over there! I pin a lot of #modernart and #abstractart and there’s a bunch of #midcentury and other inspo too. What are your favs to pin? Do you have any fav users to follow? . . . #soniadelaunay #modernart #inspiration #bauhaus #abstractart #abstract #geometric
This is one of the simpler coordinates in the same collection, I’m very happy with the way it repeats [swipe to see a pic] . . I’m mocking everything up as a cushion because it’s easy to visualise but there are things in the pipeline #patterns #comingsoon . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #abstractart #abstract #geo #geometric #shape #form #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign #modernart #makersgonnamake
Cushion ❤️ so many ideas, so hard to narrow it down to only 4 designs... will this one make the cut... #comingsoon . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #abstractart #abstract #geo #geometric #shape #form #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign #modernart #makersgonnamake
Another illustration I did for the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s 2018 Season... I seem to be obsessed with these forms at the moment, can’t get enough. . . Yesterday we had our first proper day off in a very long time. No work, no attempt to do work, no guilt, just the entire day to focus on having a nice day with the boys for Alfie’s birthday. When you have you’re own business it’s really hard to do that. It was wonderful! Like being on holiday but at home. We made the most of it : pancakes, swimming, cafe, sand, walks, lots of playing! I’m feeling rejuvenated. . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #illo #abstractart #abstract #geo #geometric #shape #form #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign #modernart #makersgonnamake
💛💙HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALFIE! ❤️💚 my big little guy is 5 today. I’m not sure how that happened! Time has flown by but I am grateful that I’ve been able juggle my work at weird times and hours so I could spend my days with this cool little guy. He’s a character. Off to school next year, he’s so ready and willing to learn, learn, learn. He’s a beautiful gentle Big brother to Wes and an all round gentle caring and considerate soul ❤️ .
Days 3 & 4 #inktober2017 〰 I’m behind in posting my sketches but the important thing is I’m doing them! This one was drawn entirely with a ZEBRA pocket brush pen and it is probably the best pen I have ever used. Can make the finest lines to thick lines in the same stroke. Just like painting. . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #abstractart #geometric #sketchbook #sketch #sketchaday #ink #drawing #drawingaday #artistsoninstagram #makersgonnamake #carveouttimeforart #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign #inktober #pen #brushpen #mono #monochrome
UPDATE: he won First prize! He’s so excited! Yay! This is my boys entry into the local shows painting category, he’s 4, almost 5. I wish I could be that ‘free’ with paint 👌🏻 I’m so proud of him working on a painting over several days and also a building very creative LEGO scene. We’re off to the show to go check them out exhibited!
Started a tiny A6 #sketchbook for #inktober2017 I'm only a couple of days behind... I'm not limiting myself with subject, my own brief is that I use ink of some kind. Pictured is day 1 & 2 where I've used watercolour markers and gel pen. . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #abstractart #geometric #sketchbook #sketch #sketchaday #ink #drawing #drawingaday #artistsoninstagram #makersgonnamake #carveouttimeforart #pattern #patterndesign #surfacedesign
Everyone needs an abstract calendar tea towel, right?! 😊 this is an entry into this weeks #spoonflower comp [link in profile if you would like to vote ❤️🙏🏼]. Why am I entering these competitions you may ask... I would never expect to win or come even close, but they are fantastic at giving me practice at making patterns to a brief with a deadline. And then I work on more of my own coordinates and other patterns for my Spoonflower shop. I will have fabric available for purchase soon! Exciting! . Thanks to those that voted for my last Spoonflower pattern, appreciate your support and encouragement. Sometimes starting new things can feel a bit overwhelming and it's great to feel like I have people who 'get me' over here. Thank you ❤️ . . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration . #carveouttimeforart #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #surfacedesign #pattern #geometric #geo #abstract #abstractart #shapes #makersgonnamake #teatowel #calendar #2018 #2018calendar
Painted beads 🔴 looks like earrings are on the Christmas gift making list too :) I surprisingly love working at such a small scale. . . #kelsosullivan #art #design #illustration #beads #painting #geo #geometric #modernart #modernist #abstract #abstractart #wearableart #makersgonnamake #earrings #jewelry #jewellery
