Kawaii Sun & Rain for Print-on-Demand

One of my 2026 goals is to upload a new design to my print-on-demand stores for every month so here’s the first with kawaii suns and rain clouds.

Long-time followers may recognise this as being a new version of one of my very first repeat patterns. Let’s compare.

Some real proof of how your style changes over the years! This one has a hand-drawn charm but that also means it’s not very scalable. The new one is more consistent with the rest of my patterns, and more colourful too.

I kept this as just a pattern so there’s only a limited range of products but I think they look surprisingly cheerful for having a crying cloud as a major design element.
