This appears to be my speciality just lately, hand drawn Art Deco style motif design

I designed these a couple of months ago for a friend studying Fashion at Falmouth College as part of a packaging project relating to British aesthetic.

I associate traditional British aesthetic with high society and country pursuits and all the elements it involves, tweed and wax jackets, horse racing, game shooting, fox hunting etc. which in turn reminds me of the 1920’s and 30’s and there you have your link to Art Deco design
