ABOUT HOWARD’S PLAID
This print is inspired by the archives of English textile designer Howard Asher. He is said to have created four hundred designs in a single year. His meticulous art was drafted by hand, with paper and ink, yet it has a very modern, almost pixel-like digital quality, due to the use of graph paper gridded base. Many of his designs were used for double-knit and other apparel fabrics, which lend themselves to such geometric motifs.
