In this month’s issue of Juxtapoz, I came across artist Kehinde Wiley and was instantly blown away by his paintings. Wiley is a Yale-grad, Harlem based portraitist that works some downright awesome patterns into his pieces. I still can’t believe this guy can paint these intricate patterns without losing focus of the individual(s) in the artwork.

Used my iPhone to take some random shots of interesting found patterns on the Target sale shelves.

Stumbled across “Designer’s Guild,” an international design company creating some truly impressive fabrics and wallpaper for all sorts of products and accessories.

Had a craving for some green tea last night, so I grabbed a packet from a box of Yogi Tea I had. I had never noticed it before, but the packaging has some great patterns and packaging design. I was even more impressed when I opened the box and found a pretty unique repeating pattern surrounding a lotus illustration on the inside.

Looking for pattern inspiration? Have a look at what the most stylish ladies are carrying around these days. Patterned handbags are all the rage from Louis Vuitton to Vera Bradley.Vera Bradley’s been spicing up the wardrobes of people every where for over 20 years.

I just stumbled upon a site called “Catherine’s Animals” that has some great animal photography. What caught my eye though, was the settings the animals were in. Behind a majority of the animals are some great patterned wallpapers. The patterns of the wallpapers creates an interesting focal point on the animals.
