Found these great monochromatic wrapping paper patterns on Japanese online handmade site, Minne. They are sold under the brand name, Discography, which is also the name of their graphic design firm. Their Minne shop is currently focused on printed paper items which include these posters and wrapping paper designs. You can view more of their work on their website and follow them as well on Facebook.

Admiring the illustrations of UK-based freelance illustrator, Melissa Castrillón. Thought we would share her perspective on the importance of the sketchbook for her work:
“Sketchbooks play a couple significant roles in the development of my work, primarily I keep sketchbooks as a kind of visual dumping ground. It’s a cathartic way of getting ideas down, out of my head, through sketches, experiments and colour studies, then seeing all of these separate elements in one place helps me to piece together a single or series of images, though quite often the best work comes out when no planning is involved. Sketchbooks also help me to not become to precious with my work. When it comes to creating a ‘final image’ I often use the images straight from my sketchbooks, they have more life and spontaneity to them and the sketchbook as a physical book helps me to understand how to read through pictures. From the turning of a page I can develop each image to follow the next and to hopefully tell a story.â€
