Patterns Portfolio
John Potter - Escape Key Graphics

I seldom make patterns for patterns sake but rather as tiles to render a world whether it's created in Adobe Illustrator as an axonometric rendering, Sketchup like an architectural 3D rendering or for a game engine like I used to do a long time ago. The patterns I make usually become walls, grass, rock or some other landscape surface. The patterns need to repeat seamlessly and usually not show any obvious repeating. I would love to apply the same skills to fabric, wallpaper or other design.
