Best 〰️ Buds 〰️

I designed Best Buds as a commemorative Jubilee wallpaper for CommonRoom. The anthropomorphic buds were inspired by a William Kilburn sketch from 1800. They can be read as flowers, crowns, or even winking eyes that warmly watch over us, while the repetition in the design nods to a lifetime of duty and best behaviour. A little like wallpaper, Queen Elizabeth II was the quiet backdrop to our lives; that consistent, comforting presence. She was there. She had always been there.
