It's really tricky to spread the word about events these days! I don't support corporate social media and you don't get read attention there anyway, mailing lists aren't what they once were, and this event wants to reach people across many patterny disciplines..

Any help spreading the word across all the strange pattern-obsessed communities much appreciated!

Algorithmic Pattern is a new festival and conference for people curious about the practice and culture of algorithmic pattern-making, across algorithmic music, arts and craft. The first edition will take place both in Sheffield UK and online, during September 2025.
The call for talks/papers is now open, deadline 2nd June - please see our website for details: https://2025.algorithmicpattern.org/call/

I'm excited to reveal the artwork for this year's LIMESTONE CYCLING TOUR t-shirt. I was asked to make a design that included bicycles and downtown Maysville.

This woodcut design uses 3 colors - and white- to keep the t-shirt printing process simple -and in budget

If you'd like to to participate in this year's ride (and get one of their beautiful t-shirts) more information is available on their website:

Wander into Kirsty Elson’s Cornwall studio, and you’ll likely greet a menagerie of creatures alongside scraps of driftwood and rusted bits of metal.
