Geometric Patterns.

Geometric patterns excite me. Perhaps it's the balance between abstract shapes and linear order, or maybe it's the playful repetitiveness. Whatever the reason, these patterns stimulate my eyes and dazzle my brain.

We ♥ art. In fact, we're "hearting" just about every artist we discover on Etsy. And some of our favorite trends seem to be popping up within the art community as well. We've spotted patterns galore, southwest motifs, intricate works of color, mod throwbacks and much, much more.

This week, we'll spotlight the art we're in love with and the artists we adore. Hopefully, you'll discover a few new artists of your own too!

A Few Of Our Favorite Patterns.

"You Are Good" poster, from Chief and Crown.

"Cooter Brown, The Wise" print, from Veal Kutlets.

Triangle lattice necklace, from Boo And Boo Factory.

Rainbow hippie vest, from Love And Knit.

Bohemian chic is pretty hip right now. In fact, this is our favorite new pattern trend of the season. Essentially, it's Native American meets Manhattan fashionista. And even if you're a fashion-clueless dude (like myself), you can still appreciate the geometric, visual complexity that "boho chic" brings to the table.

A Few Of Our Favorite Cuts.

"Crocodile Scales", giclee print, from Farouche.

Axe print, from In Haus Press.

Geometric notebooks, from Pawling.

I love the immense creativity behind each of these designs. Plus, I'm a sucker for silhouettes, geometric shapes and patterns, clever color arrangements, and of course, 3D viewing--so naturally, all of these tickle my fancy!
