88: Business As Usual
I’ve used elements of this pattern before however I liked it so much I repurposed and transformed it into something new!
Happy Earth Day from one of my favorite places on the Earth, the Marin Headlands. San Francisco is a such a special city in that you can easily drive, bike, or walk to some of the most beautiful natural places. Recently I hiked up to a point in the Headlands where I could see Tennessee Valley down below on one side of the ridge and the north side of San Francisco off in the distance on the other side. The vivid aliveness of nature does so much good for this human!
California Postcards - Printed Project #2
I’m happy to report my 2nd printed project based on patterns is now available at Rare Device on Divisadero Street in San Francisco (http://www.raredevice.net) and in my Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/roseheineman). This project has become a macro/micro experiment in more ways than one. The imagery is based on the natural beauty of the California coast. I’ve found creative inspiration, healing, renewal and connection to the earth hiking in the Bay Area and beyond. These postcards were also printed locally at Photoworks and even the plastic sleeves are from Flax, a local art supply store. In more ways than one, these postcards support local life.
Thanks for taking a look :)
87: Song of the Sea
Watching the surface of the ocean reminds me of the infinite changes all around.
86: Succulent Mandala
Nature renews and heals.
85: California Poppies of Montaña de Oro State Park
I recently hiked around Montaña de Oro State Park outside of San Luis Obispo. Beautiful California Poppies and other wild flowers are radiantly in bloom at this time of year. If you live in California, Montaña de Oro State Park is an inspiring destination. The California Coast never ceases to amaze me as the wild and expansive meeting place of the earth and the ocean.

Pattern Poster Project
I’ve been working on this series of patterns for printed posters. After a few rounds of revisions and test prints I’m happy to see the final result. I really enjoyed layering the patterns with colors and texture to create a rich environment. It was also great to see this Pattern Project evolve into a printed form.
80: Earth tones
79: Windmill Pattern
I’d like to see my pattern project out in or on the world. I took this photo of the old windmill in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on the same day the new windmill was celebrated.
78: Gold fish
Following the pattern with illustration thread— swimmingly!
77: Mediterranean Lady
Here’s another warm and wonderful wallpaper pattern that incorporates some of my illustrative work.
