Graywork is a follow up to my black and white collection titled “Linework” from 2020. This is a neutral collection designed in various shades of gray to fill the spaces between the rainbows. Graywork began as a collection of all gray prints and slowly blossomed to include touches of color to spice things up. I find it impossible to leave something completely void of color.

For the main prints of the collection I focused on animals that live their lives in shades of gray; Wolves, Bears, Snow Leopards, Puffins and Sea Lions. These eight prints are big and illustrative packed with details deigned for fussy cutting as the stars of the show. 

The coordinating prints are variations on existing True Colors prints with some new pieces for texture. These might be the back up dancers to the hero prints but they are essential to connecting the prints and filling in the gradient or grays. The multi colored Stripe is back on both a soft gray and a charcoal gray ground and the Poms have been added to the party in a new rainbow version to coordinate with the stripes! You will find new medium and dark shades of Fairy Dust sprinkled in amongst the classic tonal grays for backgrounds and blending.

The last thing that I felt this collection really needed was something that could act like a solid which came in the form of new Tiny Dots and a brand new print of tonal repeating triangles called “Kinda Shady”. While packed with artistic details this collection is designed, first and foremost to be useful. Leave it be or add in my other collections for maximum versatility.
