Pattern for players is not a blog post about people that you might find in the world of dating. You know the guy or girl that is playing around with other peoples feelings. It is also, not a post about athletic players in a team. So if you are a referee you might be disappointed. This is a post for all of you that want to know the story behind the pattern I created the other day and I just named it Pattern for players. 😊

This is the pattern ⬆️

On Sunday I followed my muse to the train. After we said good bye it would transport him to the airport and we would not hear from each other until we were in different continents. I walked around in a cold Stockholm and sat in a fancy café painting parts of the interior, overheard a player on a date 😏 and also drawing what I saw outside on the market place.  

Afterwards I visited three book shops to finally find what I was looking for - a book by Lotta Kühlhorn about pattern making. 

This is the book ⬇️

I started reading the book the same day and since it’s filled with inspiration and concrete examples of how to create patterns I had my mind set on creating a pattern for day 36‼️

Patterns is not something new to me - I think almost everyone that likes to draw have created pattern every now and then. Here are some examples of quite simple patterns I done in the past. 

Back to Pattern for players - this is a pattern very much inspired from my muse that went to Japan to play jazz. The pattern is filled with items that is Japan related and also with personal things. 

I published the post on my Instagram like I always do, and used hashtags like #jazz #trumpet #japan. What I did not expect was that I would get 20 new trumpet followers 😂 ! Since I also @:ed the writer of the book Lotta Kühlhorn I was so happy when I got a comment back from her! 😀

I hope that you find it to be a happy pattern and here you can see all of my illustrations from my 100 days project.
