For the Love of Merchandise

My artwork contains a lot of repetition and colors that tends to lend itself to pattern making and fabrics. This is quite logical as fabrics, knot making, stitching and weaving are thoroughly sewn throughout my family histories and I’m sure it’s imprinted deep in my DNA. I use my own artwork as a kind of psychological weaving of imagery.

Anything can be printed on fabric.

Often people ask me if I do textile design or if have designed fabrics and at times I oblige and put my artwork on sites like Zazzle as in this image of my “Internal Flame” collage on a fabric panel.

I have never had an official opportunity to work in textile design, however I would most likely enjoy it greatly (If you are reading this and are some kind Fairy Godmother who works for a textile design company and may wish to employ me, please do reach out!). For now I’m still in the DIY camp of designers. Thankfully, with the magic of technology, globalization, and print on demand businesses, I can offer you a variety of items with my artwork all over them! I’ve just added to my shop a section called Merch where you can snag your own For The Love of Alia swag. Below is a selection of the available merchandise.
