The Art of Pixels and Petals

The products came second. Each design here started as a standalone piece of art: a scene, a story, a specific visual idea worth executing well. The garments and accessories followed because the artwork deserved a surface. Browse the series below.

A Cat on Titan

There is a cat the size of a building, and it is looking at you.

In the world of this series, something enormous has stepped into the story: not a monster, exactly, but not a protector either. A cat, vast and indifferent, the way cats always are, rendered at a scale that makes the distinction feel unimportant. Below it, a girl in a blue dress stands on the hillside path and watches. She has the posture of someone who has seen stranger things than this and survived them. She probably has.

The series draws on the gothic fairy tale tradition: the kind where Wonderland isn’t whimsical, it’s unsettling, and the girl at the center isn’t lost, she’s just operating by rules nobody else can see. The color palette runs dark: deep blues, stone greys, the pale glow of a moon behind clouds that cannot decide if they are weather or omen. The cat is rendered in detail that keeps giving: fur, expression, the particular quality of attention that cats direct at things only they can perceive.

It’s a series that asks you to sit with the image rather than explain it. There’s no resolution to the scene. The cat isn’t attacking. The girl isn’t fleeing. Something enormous is simply present, and that presence is the whole point.

The A Cat on Titan design appears across a full range of products: skater dresses, swimwear, apparel, accessories, and home goods. Every piece uses all-over sublimation printing so the artwork wraps the entire surface, not just a panel or a patch.

Dance at the Faerie Ring

The scene is a clearing in a forest at night, and you weren’t meant to find it. Three faeries move through a ring of glowing mushrooms, each lit from within in a different color, their light catching the edges of things: the undersides of leaves, the wings of butterflies drifting through the canopy. The forest isn’t still. Everything in it seems to be paying attention.

There’s a quality to this painting that most fantasy illustration misses: the faeries aren’t performing for you. The dance is already underway, the circle already turning, and you’ve arrived at exactly the moment you shouldn’t have. In older traditions, stumbling on a faerie ring had consequences. The artwork holds onto that edge without spelling it out: the beauty is genuine, and so is the sense that you’re looking at something private.

The palette moves through deep greens and midnight blues, with the warm amber and rose of the faeries pulling the eye toward the center. The glowing mushrooms anchor the composition at ground level while the butterflies carry it upward through the canopy. It rewards time spent looking.

Dance at the Faerie Ring appears on swimwear, skater skirts, midi dresses, bodycon dresses, accessories, puzzles, and a girls dress. All-over sublimation printing wraps the artwork across the full surface of each product.

Poker Night in Wonderland

Everyone at this table is cheating, but Alice is the only one who knows it, and she’s looking right at you.

The scene is a Texas Hold’em game in Wonderland, and the cast is exactly who you’d expect. Alice sits with a slight smile and eyes pointed directly outward, the kind of look that acknowledges the viewer without breaking character. She knows something. The Cheshire Cat leans in from the side, grinning in the way that suggests he knows it too. The Mad Hatter studies his hand with genuine focus, which is either a tell or a bluff, and impossible to say which. The White Rabbit drums his fingers on the table.

Across the table, the Queen of Hearts has turned away in visible disgust, not because she doesn’t care, but because she very much does and is making a considered effort to look otherwise. The White Queen watches her with barely concealed amusement from across the felt, which may be the cruelest thing anyone at the table is doing.

The palette is warm and rich, the table lit in a way that suggests a long night well underway. Look twice; the corners are where the story happens.

Poker Night in Wonderland appears on swimwear, bodycon dresses, skater skirts, midi dresses, and accessories.

Moonlit Waltz in Wonderland

The scene is a garden at night: roses all around, a crescent moon overhead, and Alice and the Mad Hatter mid-waltz. He’s leading, which is either entirely in character or the most surprising thing about the painting, depending on how you read him. She looks curious more than enchanted, which is very Alice.

Moonlit Waltz is the most purely romantic of the Pixels and Petals series, and it earns that register by being specific rather than atmospheric. The roses are red and detailed. Her pale blue gown catches the moonlight, set against a sky that reads as true midnight. The gold stars overhead aren’t decorative so much as temporal; they make the scene feel genuinely out of time. The Hatter’s coat is dark, well-cut in a slightly wrong way, the hat as always doing exactly what it wants.

The painting plays the romance straight. There’s no wink at the camera, no ironic distance from the fact that this is a sincere moment between two Wonderland characters who have no business being this sincere with each other. That commitment is what makes it work.

A Moonlit Waltz in Wonderland appears on skater dresses, midi skirts, skater skirts, swimwear, posters, puzzles, and handbags.

Unicorn Tapestry

A unicorn rests in a garden, and for once nobody is hunting it.

The source is one of the most famous textiles ever woven: The Unicorn Rests in a Garden, the final panel of the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries, made in the Southern Netherlands around 1495 to 1505 and hanging today at The Met Cloisters in New York. In the original, the unicorn sits inside a low wooden fence, loosely chained to a tree, surrounded by a thousand flowers. Five centuries of scholars have argued over whether it is a captive, a tamed lover, or something holier, and the tapestry has declined to answer.

Our version keeps the language of the medieval millefleur style, the dark flowering ground, the framing trees, the white rabbits stitched in like punctuation, and quietly removes the chain. This unicorn rests because it wants to. Every bloom is drawn in the flat, patient vocabulary of the original weavers, scattered across deep green like a garden that never learned about perspective and never missed it.

The Unicorn Tapestry design appears on the Unicorn Tapestry Skater Dress and the matching girls dress, printed all over so the garden runs from hem to hem.

Lady and the Unicorn

The lady stands at the center of the garden with a lion on one side and a unicorn on the other, and both of them are carrying her colors.

The source is La Dame à la licorne, the Lady and the Unicorn cycle: six tapestries woven around the year 1500 from Parisian designs, displayed today at the Musée de Cluny in Paris. Five of the panels depict the five senses. The sixth bears the motto À mon seul désir, “to my only desire,” and six hundred years of looking has not settled what it means. The set spent centuries fading in a country château at Boussac until Prosper Mérimée, France’s inspector of historical monuments, came across them in the 1840s; George Sand championed them in print, and Paris eventually came to collect.

Our scene answers the Taste panel: the lady takes a sweet from the dish her maidservant holds, a bird perched on her gloved hand, while the lion and unicorn raise crescent-marked pennants. The red millefleur ground teems the way the original does, with rabbits, hounds, a monkey, and a lamb hiding among the thousand flowers. It is not a reproduction. It is a portrait of the tradition, redrawn so it can survive sublimation printing and a turn on a dance floor.

The Lady and the Unicorn design appears on the Lady and the Unicorn Skater Dress and the matching girls dress, printed edge to edge: half a millennium of art history, cut as an A-line.
