Art and Design By Teresa Cowley

This came up in my Facebook memories. Ten years ago already. My Taste The Tube map! It’s a unique spin on the London Underground map that replaces the station names with the taste/texture of the words for someone who can taste words (a type of synesthesia). I designed the logo for the project. The idea was to have something food related in the style of the London Underground logo. Close enough to be recognizable yet not so close to infringe on copyright. It was a fun project to work on!

Finding inspiration in the smallest details—like the intricate lines of an Orthoceras fossil—is a reminder that art is all around us, waiting to be discovered. I recently turned this ancient squid-like creature’s fossil into a custom stamp brush for Procreate. The fossil’s beautifully preserved lines and subtle textures offer a unique way to layer history into my digital mixed media work. I’m excited to see how this piece of the past will blend into contemporary compositions. Sometimes, the best art starts with just a simple curiosity. 🖤

This started out with an agate slice in mind, but the piece had other ideas. The fluid art technique in Procreate and some play with the liquify tool transformed it into something unexpected—a fantasy fireball, perhaps. Sometimes the process takes you to surprising places. Still learning and loving every step. 🔥

Taking a leap into the unpredictable—these images were born from an experimental approach with Procreate, where I played around with a chaotic, hand-painted background to test some custom brush ideas. The real surprise came when I ran the background through DECIM8, a glitch art app, which turned the chaos into these intricate, almost architectural patterns. It’s fascinating to see how disorder can be transformed into something structured and visually compelling. Sometimes, the mess holds more potential than we expect.

This piece brings together the fluidity of abstract art with the precision of AI-generated detail. I started with an abstract background in Procreate, letting the colors and forms flow naturally. Check out my reel to watch me create it! The portrait, added later, is a collage element created with AI, which I then blended into the piece. The result is a fusion of traditional and digital techniques, where organic and artificial elements meet. It’s a quiet exploration of how different mediums can coexist in a single composition.

Playing with fluid art in Procreate, I added an “inky cell” brush I created to give this piece a bit more of an abstract vibe. Just a quick, fun experiment with movement and texture.

(Sound on for best experience.) This is a work in progress video of a sci-fi surrealist scene that spontaneously came together after an experiment with AI art tools. It started with the strange blue landscape stuck in what looks like a lightbulb which was missing the bottom originally. The rest of the scene I built up in Affinity Photo using bits and pieces of other images made with AI.

Sound on for best results. Exploring the world of custom Procreate stamps! 🌿✨ In this video, I walk through the process of refining this ink blot stamp. It’s one of my early creations, blending spontaneity and structure. Join me on this creative journey and let’s see where these experiments take us!

Lost in the intricate layers of geometric wonder. This piece captures the beauty of symmetry and the play of muted colors, inviting you to explore its depths. 🎨✨ This is the still image of my pattern design. Check out my reel to see the music video version!
