We all know the age old games of Checkers and Chess from their ubiquitous boards made of perfect squares and two colors. This common pattern holds special meaning to all of us in some way. For me it evokes memories of the grand marble floors of palazzos from my time studying in Italy, and has adorned the Vans shoes I've worn since childhood, iconic sneakers of surf and skate culture. When creating this pattern I wanted to focus on bright complimentary colors and let the paints flow together from check to check, moving away from the prototypical checkered pattern. Multi is a fun take on the checked pattern with rich colors such as brown, blue, green, pink, purple, and more.
