Farmidable

Here’s an update on this pattern we’ve got in the works…

We’ve been working a lot on this new desktop wallpaper illustration and planned to have it finished by today, but alas, it’s not quite there yet. Who new building an entire city would take so long? In the mean time we still have some great wallpaper tiles in our gallery.

Oh man, who doesn’t like antlers? we at Farmidable sure do.  What you see here is a new pattern in production; and, word to the wise, if you don’t like antlers: too bad.

As promised, we’ve released a new pattern today! Pine Boughs is available in the gallery, so click on over and download it. You’re guaranteed to find peace and serenity amongst these idyllically drooping boughs of pine! It may be noted that this is a somewhat belated entry in the line of Farmidable patterns inspired in some way by Japanese wood block prints and samurai therein.

This is another prelim for Building Boxes. We’re poised to be releasing two new desktop wallpaper patterns in our gallery over the next two weeks. The first hopefully on Monday, 4/21, and the next pattern on Monday 4/28. Maybe we’ll make that a pattern. In the meantime we’ve got some great posts in the works and will do our best to post every day.

So we’ve got another new illustrated pattern coming up the pipeline called Pine Boughs. It’s gonna be a good one so check back for updates and to see what else is comming.

Here’s a sketch for a new desktop tile pattern that’s in the works called Building Boxes. We’ve got some others in the pipeline as well that we’ll be posting about soon. In the meantime check out our amazing pattern gallery.

If you’re looking for a great site for and about fonts check out Hoefler & Frere-Jones. The site has a simple nice design and a lot of type to look at. Looking at fonts when they are presented well is a lot of fun. I think this calls for a pattern based on type! I’m sure we can muster something up.

Congratulations to to Abbey from Aesthetic Outburst, our first comment contest winner!! Abbey wanted a chalk board theme. So cool.  Here’s a prelim.

To all those who commented on our site and didn’t win thank you and don’t you worry. We’ll be drawing a new winner as soon as this round is finished. So keep the comments coming. A good place to start is this vary post.

Bit of a sneak peek at another in a series of Japanese woodblock print and samurai-inspired patterns. Really long informative page on the history and process of Japanese woodblock printing here. Another shorter option here.

New pattern in the works; looks a bit boring at the moment, perhaps, but be assured, this will be an exercise in subtlety and taste. Oh, and btw, be sure to comment on this post or any other to be entered into our comment contest! Time’s almost up!
