Mid century patterns.

 A while ago (when I was working on my Body of Work, to be exact) I made a lot of drawings based on items from the mid 20th Century. From these I then made patterns.
The first that appears here is based on Arne Jacobsen's Swan Chair while the second is based on a mid century Australian kitchen that I found within Carter's Mid 20th Century book by Dorothy and William Hall.

Mid century modern.

When making my body of work I explored the 1950s and 1960s. In doing so I came to illustrate many aspects of it. 
Here is a line portrait of James Dean that was, like my body of work, based on an image from a simple Google search.
I have also included a Goggomobil dashboard and some drawings based on dresses of the era.
