I just received my first copy of Uppercase magazine in 2016. 

You most likely know Uppercase magazine from Canada...it is a beautiful magazine for the creative and curious with so much inspiration in each issue. 

If you hold it in your hands, you instantly love feeling the paper in your hands and the smell of a freshly printed magazine. 

Issue 28 includes a beautiful black and white calendar for 2016 with literally over 365 beautiful illustrations, patterns or quotes from illustrators and designers from all over the world. 

I am one of the lucky ones who got chosen to contribute. You can find my pattern in the month of November ( my birthday month ) on the 13th .

Happy Holidays 2015

Wow...I am just looking at my all time history of this blog - so far it had over 20 000 clicks.

 Thank you everyone who is stopping by from time to time. I appreciate every reader and every single comment. 

I am happy we are such a great, creative community who loves to get inspired by each other's art. 

My goal for next year is spending more time being creative and show more of my work. 

I love what I do and I hope you do, too ! 

Happy Holidays and a very Happy and Creative New Year !

Love, Maike

MATS Bootcamp May

May is almost over and I feel this month was just flying by. Make Art That Sells boot camp is finished for this months and I have to admit I had not much time to spend on this month's assignment but I was still enjoying it, especially looking at all amazing art from my fellow #mats designers. The topic was designing a plate with crustaceans in the front and a pattern in the background. The May gallery is open to view now and I can tell you already the work of my fellow designers will blow your mind - just stunning.
