Hello & welcome to Earth+Sky Illustration & Design.

 I'm Joan Estlund—surface pattern designer, singer-songwriter, and crafter. I create from my home office in the Midwest and on the road in my pop-up camper. Always by my side is Veylah—the sweetest Yorkie ever. Designed to translate beautifully across product categories, my work blends classic, organic artistry with digital refinement. Rich in texture and high-contrast hand-sketched details, these designs feel at home in contemporary, vintage, cottage-core, farmhouse, and botanical collections—especially in fabric, wallpaper, stationery, and home décor. Color palettes range from quiet and grounding to bold and expressive, offering versatility across seasonal and core lines.

E+S Style
I’m drawn to nature, organic repeat patterns, and subtle texture. Influenced by timeless traditions such as folk art, damask, the Arts & Crafts movement, and toile de Jouy, my work blends heritage aesthetics with a fresh, contemporary sensibility. Loosely drawn botanicals, block-print-inspired motifs, and touches of vintage cottage charm bring warmth and personality to each collection. My color palettes move from calming, earthy neutrals to sweetly saturated hues, always composed with balance, contrast, and product versatility in mind.​

Quiet+Earthy

Bold+Brilliant
