I don’t know why but all week I’ve been thinking the word was danger ( I must be brain dead#!). So feel free to just ignore this picture or interpret it as the title suggests. 
Anyway I have experimented by scanning into Illustrator upholstery samples. The illustration required patience as each layer is made from a separate clipping mask. A question for the experts out there. Can I make swatches out of these samples and avoid the whole clipping mask thing??
WOW!! Love the design!!
Great illo…love the style!
I really like this style, so much texture! I think you can create a repeat in Photoshop, with a plug-in. It would be easier in a raster program, a vector program like Illustrator would be really time consuming to create a pattern fill of a woven, but it’s worth a try if you’re creating a library! Good Luck! : )
I love the textures ! great !!
Wonderful image, the textures work really well.
How smart! It’s really something else but your style is really in it.
I am not experienced enough with Illustrator, but you can find a lot of tutorials if you Google your question I guess…perhaps that will help also.
You portraied both in one, safety and danger! Beautiful!
Neat style! The red fox is fantastic looking. Great illo
brilliant technique! love your characters!
Fun idea and love the fabric applique effect!
Well thanks for the kind words, as I said it was an experiment, maybe I’ll have a few more attempts at the same style.
I’ve really enjoyed visiting your site and looking at your illustrations. I love your style–your lines are so clean and everything is good to look at. There’s something really special about it–simple and elegant and rich. The upholstery fabric is really cool! I know Painter accomodates texture samples but I don’t know much about Illustrator except that I should know more about it!
