William Morris's "Strawberry Thief" was and remains his most popular pattern. Designed in 1883 as a printed textile for curtains and wallcoverings, it was inspired by a scene of thrushes stealing strawberries from the garden at Kelmscott Manor. The initial design had been drawn in the 1870s, but it took ten years to achieve the first successful printing because of the intricacy of the design and Morris's insistence on traditional methods.

Welcome to more of William Morris's beautiful and classic English Arts & Crafts wallpapers - the best wallpaper designs ever, in my view, and the greatest architectural and decorative art aesthetic style. If you like these, you may be interested in my previous two posts of Morris wallpaper icons.
Here's the second batch of 21 William Morris wallpaper icons.
Here's the last of my modern art icons from the artists associated with the Bauhaus. (I don't say I won't make any more modern art icons, but I haven't lined any up.)
Proto-fantasy novelist and pre-Raphaelite William Morris is the father of the Arts & Crafts movement (my favorite architectural and decorative style), and his textiles and wallpapers were wildly popular in Victorian homes and today are ubiquitous in yuppie remodels and with set dressers creating interiors of the period (partly because they are probably the best-known designs of the period and are widely available because his company, Morris & Co, is still printing his designs from the original wooden blocks. They were not nearly as widespread as you'd think from tv and movies of recent years though, nor have they ever been affordable enough to be).

The Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866 – 1944) is the most famous artist associated with the Bauhaus, and is considered one of the originators of Western abstract art. Born in Moscow and raised in present-day Ukraine, he was already a law professor when he took up painting at 30. He moved to Germany to study art, returning to Russia in the years around WWI, then teaching at the Bauhaus from 1922-1933 when it was closed by the Nazis and he fled to France.

I picked up playing Pokemon Go again due to the lovely weather and finally being in a more walkable neighborhood, and it got me itching to make some icons with Pokemon card art, bc the card art is so cute. So here it is! (Though most of the Eevee art comes from entries of the 2018 Pokémon Card Game Illustration Grand Prix)
Icons made for 'basic-icontest' on LJ. Various subject matters: Mosaiculture Garden, Seahorses, Sci-Fi Architecture, Penguins, Hotdogs, Sunglasses and Autumn.
