Product Description

Take one tablespoon of Jackson Pollack, mix in two cups of M.C. Escher, sprinkle in a pinch of William Morris, and you'll get Drip Dot Swirl.

Finally, here's an exceptional resource for creatives who love pattern, but can't devote hundreds of hours to developing swatches. In Drip Dot Swirl, you get an amazing professional resource library with 94 original vector patterns. Styles range from intricate knotwork to subtle florals to retro wallpaper to alien-inspired mazes. The patterns are equally useful for personal or professional projects.

This eye-popping book/DVD set features handcrafted vector patterns which tile seamlessly. With examples from ten artists, you'll see how top designers use the patterns in various styles. The DVD contains all 94 source files in vector EPS format (with three color options per pattern), swatch libraries and PDF tutorials on how to use the files. Both beginners and advanced designed professionals will be able to jump right in.

Drip Dot Swirl explodes with pattern. It's unique and it jump starts the imagination. Designers and illustrators who want to wield the power of pattern will keep this book close by. It's one that can be used again and again, for brochures, scrapbooks, illustrations, website backgrounds, textiles, altered art and more. Take the fast train from Boringville, and enter the fascinating world of interlocked embellishments.

From the Publisher

"Drip Dot Swirl" explodes with pattern. It's unique, and it jump starts the imagination. Take the fast train from Boringville, and enter the fascinating world of interlocked embellishments.

Illustrative designer and author Von Glitschka is nationally recognized for his art and his passion to educate designers. As with his previous work, "Crumble Crackle Burn," Glitschka uses "Drip Dot Swirl" to share some of his design mojo and to provide creatives and hobbyists a simple means to use high-quality art resources in their own work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A design resource that is creative and high quality, November 2, 2009
This book is an amazing addition to my design resources. There are so many design elements available for free on the internet today, but free usually means less quality. This book is packed with hight quality, hand-crafted patterns that can be utilized is numerous ways. This book is definitely worth the money and is a great inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Resource and Visual Inspiration, June 8, 2009
Von's texture and pattern books are fantastic design resources, and I have loved using them in a few projects already. The photos that come with the book are great for inspiration to how the patterns can enhance a design.
