Bowie Wong wallpaper for Porter's Paints

A good friend of mine mentioned to me yesterday Bowie Wong, fashion and costume designer, is set to launch a range of wallpaper for Porter's Paints on March 26.

If you've been following this blog you'll know I'm a fan of Porter's Paints wallpaper and have used Catherine Martin's Circus Silhouette wallpaper in my son's nursery.

Here are a few sneak peak images of Bowie's range. My favourite is Spring:

And here's what Bowie says about his designs:
Toys
“Innocence, purity, delight. Handmade toys, learn to create, draw with me - this was my childhood.”
Summer
“The morning dew glistened in the sun. Through the silence you could hear the wings of the dragonfly inviting the Iris to dance.”
Autumn
“Looking down from above, chrysanthemums covered the deep red earth. It was then I appreciated the inherent beauty of aboriginal art.”
Spring
“It was spring time in Kyoto. A gentle breeze and the delicate cherry blossom petals began to fall. I couldn't help myself - I had to sketch what I saw.”
Winter
“As the moonlight shone on the snow, the bamboo formed a perfect silhouette against the sky. The cranes sang to the night.”
Four Seasons
“Looking through the kaleidoscope, the four seasons came to life. The flowers bloomed, the leaves turned red and the snow - peaked mountaintop rose to the sun.’
