While it’s a sweltering 34°C summer’s day here in New Zealand, I’ve been cooling down by diving into this frosty winter scene! ❄️☃️ Featuring snowmen, kids mid-snowball fight, and families on wintry walks, this illustration is giving me the chilly vibes I need right now. Sometimes, a little art-inspired escapism is the perfect antidote to the summer heat! 🌞 Would love to know what the temp is at your place today... us Kiwis love to talk about the weather! #winterinsummer #snowyscenes #illustrationlife #creativeescape #illustration #whitechristmas #winterillustration

The sea dragons have had babies! 🐉✨ These cute little hatchlings are independent from day one... swimming off to explore the ocean. 💙🌊 Available as fabric, home decor and wallpaper in my @spoonflower shop...

🐟✨ After a bit of experimenting I realised my pipefish, with their straight lines, weren’t quite blending with the floofy, flowing nature of the sea dragons. So… I have given them their own spotlight! Introducing my cheeky pipefish stripe… perfectly suited for these sleek swimmers. 💙🌊 Available in my @spoonflower shop on fabric, home decor and wallpaper... link in my bio. #pipefish #patterndesign #oceanlife #patterndesign #whimsicalstripe #stripe #sealife #marinelife #illustration #fabric design #stripepattern

Thank you so much for your input on my sea dragon pattern! 🐉✨ I’ve decided to keep it focused solely on the sea dragons, they just seemed to deserve their own spotlight! But don’t worry… the pipefish aren’t being left behind. I might do a version including them and I’m already working on a separate pattern just for them. I can’t wait to share that with you soon so stay tuned for more underwater magic! 💙🌊 Available in my @spoonflower shop for fabric, home decor and wallpaper. #seadragon #sealife #marinefish #coastallife #oceanlife #patterndesign #underwaterart #oceanartist #illustration

Here is a little sneak peek of all my sea dragons together in a new pattern! 🐉✨ I’m still debating whether to include the pipefish or keep it focused solely on the sea dragons. Decisions, decisions! What do you think—should the pipefish make an appearance? 💙🌊 #seadragon #workinprogress #oceanlife #patterndesign #underwaterart #fabricdesign #sealife #marinelife #seacreatures #oceanartist

Some more sea dragons… but this time they’ve brought a friend! This latest illustration features 3 sea dragons and a little seahorse, all part of the Syngnathidae family. Did you know that leafy sea dragons lack a swim bladder… which helps them stay close to the sea floor without floating upward? Seahorses, on the other hand, are one of the few species with a prehensile tail, which they use to anchor themselves to seagrass and coral. These curious creatures make the underwater world endlessly fascinating! 💙 #seadragons #seahorse #oceanlife #syngnathidae #marinelife #seahorse #seadragon

Back with some more leafy sea dragons 🐉🌊 These creatures are found only in the waters off southern and western Australia, making them true Aussie icons! Unlike many sea creatures, leafy sea dragons don’t have teeth or stomachs—they feed exclusively on tiny crustaceans, relying on constant grazing to keep up their energy. Their leafy bits aren’t for swimming but for camouflage, allowing them to blend into their seaweed surroundings. Hope you enjoy my little Aussie neighbors from across the sea! 💙✨ #leafyseadragon #oceanlife #syngnathidae #marinecreatures #seadragons #sealife #oceanart #oceanartist
