Dog With A Bird On Its Head

 Remember these?  Its been a while but I'm back to creating knots.  The third coloring book is gonna be great.  Just a reminder you can still get the first two here: http://amazon.com/author/jpmorrow

Another Knot

 

This is actually an adaptation from a design that I did for fabric and wallpaper on my spoonflower store:

I would link to the individual design but spoonflower is broken today... like so many things in life.

New Fabric Design

 

I finished a new design for my Spoonflower shop and I ordered a fabric sample and the repeat is good so its for sale now.  You can buy some here:

I'm hoping to do it in colors at some point, when I figure out how.  Its hard to get colors to repeat because then the whole edge has to match and not just a few points where the lines cross over.  I got the edges to line up on this one by lining up the pixels in MS Paint.  Of course it is hand drawn but I use paint for necessary touch up and for the edges of repeating patterns like this.

Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 3

 Here it is!  The first design for my next coloring book!

The first two coloring books are available here:

One down, thirty one to go.  I hope to finish in another seven years.  I may finish another book in the meantime though as I have several other projects I'm working on.  So stay tuned for more artwork and potentially more books!

Me Coloring My Own Coloring Book

 

What's next?  Next thing I know people will be reading their own novels or solving their own jigsaw puzzles!

Anyhoo, a huge thank you to everyone who's helped spread the word or supported me on social media and especially if you've actually bought a copy!  Thank you all so much, it means the world to me!

I Finished The Cover!

 I finished the cover for Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 and I've been polishing up the images for the interior, so now I just need to finish putting it together and finish up the intro blurbs and stuff and it'll be done!  I'm still planning on publishing it in July but I've got so much going on it'll probly be late July, like the last week or something.  I'll let you all know when it comes out. :)

New Coloring Book In July!

Another knot!  This is the final coloring page for my next coloring book, which will feature 32 coloring pages, and its also going to do double duty as the '2' in Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 on the cover.

I still have to design the rest of the cover, make sure the pictures are pristine and do layouty stuff before I can publish it so I'm planning on it being available in July of this year.  Yay!  :D

This will be seven years after the last one so I'm sorry for taking so long and thank you all for your patience.

In the meantime here is a link to the original coloring book for whoevers interested:

Of course I will continue to work on Celtic knotwork as well as other projects so stay tuned for further developments!

Knot

 

Wow, only one more to go and I'll have enough designs for my coloring book!  Of course I still gotta design the cover and all that other layouty stuff.

Just Plain Knot

 

They can't all be super complicated, sometimes its nice to mix things up a little.

Just three more to go.

Birds With Plant Pots

 

And another one!  Bwa ha ha!

Zoomorphic S Curve

 Another Celtic knot.  :)

Celtic Man Petting Dog

 

Here's another Celtic knot, which means I've only got half a dozen more to go before finishing my Coloring book.  I hope to finish it either this year or next year, I think that would be super.

Happy new year!  :)

Vanilla Zoomorphs

Aren't these funny?  I've been trying to figure out what my next design is going to be and this was a good exercise, seeing what they look like when they're not tied into knots.

Celtic Circle

 

Here's another one! :)

Six designs or so to go!

Critters With Spirals

 And here's another one!  Only seven or so more to go before I finish my coloring book.  I think spirals are good, I'd love to do more with spirals.

Another Celtic Knot

 

Pretty fancy!  :)

Dog-Bird-Plant-Snek!

 I've been wanting to do a design for a long time where there's a dog a plant a bird and a snake all tied into each other where each one is tied up with the other three and I finally managed it!

I did another design back in 2020 that also had all four elements as you see here:

And its very good, however the bird and snake don't directly tie in with the dog or man.  It does have a human however which my new one doesn't so now I need to work on one with all five elements: man, dog, bird, snake, and plant all directly intertwined, preferably with some spirals, geometric and key patterns as well.  That would be the holy grail!

Just Another Knot

 Just a knot this time, not even any zoomorphs.  Sometimes you got to have some nice simple ones in between all the complex ones.

My First Art Of 2020!

Yes indeed!

Domini Canis - Color!

I just did a color version with brush pens, and its brown because the dog next to Saint Dominic is often brown.  And then I put it in grayscale because black and white is the Dominican color scheme! :)
