#monkey pyjamas

Two new lines I designed for Camille. Commercial, but still quite fun and very strictly to brief.

I've been working on these allover repeat prints today, and some checks (or plaids for the American English). I find designing checks really theraputic but harder than they look. I've been inundated with work requests the last couple of days from my regular clients and I'm now booked solid for the next couple of weeks which is great. looks like my self-directed illustration is going to put on the back burner for quite some time.

I've been working on high-volume commercial nightwear today. Above is one of the pyjama sets I designed. While this might not be the most cutting-edge, it is enjoyable and straightforward. And essentially, I'm still getting paid to sit and draw pictures all day. The other day I blogged about feeling saddened by the poor standard of illustration and technical skill in commercial nightwear, pictured left are two of the sets I was shown as examples of bestsellers (these are not my designs). Well I guess we just have to give the public what they want!
