More Autumn People vis dev! I took a LOT of inspiration from fairy houses made out of tree stumps. I strongly recommend you check out R/FairyGardens and R/Gardening for fairy house inspo! #art #sketch #visualdevelopment #visdev #illustration #plants #trees

This week, I thought I would share some of the vis dev pieces I've done for the the Autumn people and their world! Today I want to share some of the style explorations I did for trees and different bushes. #art #sketch #visualdevelopment #visdev #illustration #plants #trees

Season's Greetings from The Autumn People! 🎃✨ I've been developing the Autumn People into a bigger project on Twitch for the past few months! Expected to see more of these little guys over the next year or so. Happy Holidays, everyone! #art #illustration #happyholidays #jackolantern #winter

The design on the left is one of the first patterns I ever made, & the one on the right is a re-imagining I did five years later! I think I did a pretty good job of keeping the vibe while improving the overall look. #art #illustration #christmas #winter #patterns #patterndesign #fabric

A very simple fall pattern I made last year for fun! And of course, I had to make a jack-o-lantern version. #art #illustration #halloween #patterns #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns

Brain tired, have some cute pink owls in teacups ‪ #art #illustration #cute #owls #tea

One of my favorite patterns!✨ It's loosely based on nightshade flowers, and I believe I did submit it to a Spoonflower contest- but make no mistake, I made it 100% for myself lol. #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #floral #pastelgoth

These are SO old that I forgot they existed! Waaay back in 2020, I was DEEP into New Horizons and wanted to get back into shape-based styles after years of linear based ones, so I made these basic phone wallpapers! Feel free to use 'em (1/3) #art #illustration #animalcrossing #fanart #nintendo

This is a fun one lol. So, Spectral Sweethearts started as a fabric design for Spoonflower, but I thought it was SO cute that I turned one of the couples into a pin, ha! #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #ghosts #horror #pophorror #enamelpin #pin

A lil post-stream sketch I did last summer, when the heat was not letting up. I like the dismal-yet-dreamy vibe of this piece, very fitting for that point in time. #art #illustration #sketch #portrait #summer

I was going through my files, and found this older contest design! It's called Lil’ Witch’s First Coven, and it was my first attempt at an 'endless landscape' piece. I think it holds up! #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #witch #pastel #magic #fantasy #forest

This is Fantastical Florals, and it's the pattern I use for my header image! I made it for a Spoonflower Pantone challenge a couple of years ago, but between you and me I like the autumnal colorway more 😉 #art #illustration #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #floral #folkart #pantone

Tunes for Freaknik Ghouls🎶 Another series that started as a fabric design, and later got remixed as a print series. The whole thing was inspired by album covers from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. And, of course, monsters! #art #illustration #monsters #horror #retro #pophorror

Literary Kitties! 📚🐈✨ Two of my most successful prints EVER. Shout out to my stream chat for helping me brainstorm cat puns for the book titles, that was so much fun! #art #illustration #cats #reading #books #cute #puns

Another old Halloween pattern of mine, to celebrate the nice holiday weekend I had: Batties! #art #illustration #halloween #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #bats #goth

The Night of Meows! 🎃🐈✨ I made these last year juuuust in time for LACC, and they were a hit! I just love how joyful all the cats in this series turned out. 🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!🎃 ‪ #art #illustration #halloween #cats #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns #cute

A few years later after I made my Pastel Halloween patterns, I was determined to turn the masks one into a standalone print. But each of my attempts failed... until I realized I could have other monsters wear the masks! The full series: (1/2) #art #illustration #halloween #monsters #horror #spooky

Another set of patterns! Both of these were done for the Pastel Halloween contest on Spoonflower years ago. I submitted the left one, and it did really well! #art #illustration #halloween #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns #spooky #Spoonflower #pastelgoth

Two of my older seasonal patterns: Jack-o-Lanterns & Pumpkins of Autumn! 🎃✨ (Reposted because I forgot to add some alt text, whoops!) #art #illustration #halloween #patterns #patterndesign #fabricdesign #fabric #spoonflower #autumn #fall #pumpkins #jackolanterns #spooky

Another recent series: Furrever Friends! 👻🐈 This was NOT supposed to be a series- they started as warm-up doodles for a twitch stream. But I liked those sketches so much that I finished them up✨️ #art #illustration #halloween #ghosts #cats #spooky #pastel #cute #pophorror

Hi there! I'm JM Tolman, an illustrator & graphic designer, and I'm finally using this account! I tend toward the retro, sweetly-spooky side of pop art, and I design fabric as a side gig. For my first post, here's my recent series The Autumn People! #art #illustration #halloween #autumn #spooky
