Honey Buzz + Cats with Jobs by Mariella Villalobos
Mariella Villalobos is an award-winning Chilean-Canadian illustrator living and working between Mohkinstsis/Treaty 7 and Glasgow, UK. She completed her Bachelor’s degree at AUArts in 2010, and worked with many local publications before going on to earn her MDES in Illustration at the Glasgow School of Art.
"When Tyler approached me about a collaboration with Devon + Lang, I was thrilled to get the opportunity to make something that wasn’t yet available in the existing print range, stylistically and thematically - cute cats! One of my own orange boys at home is my husband’s little helper, so we thought taking that to the natural conclusion of giving him actual jobs was perfect.
We took inspiration for the palette by looking at the existing colours of prints available and trying to expand a bit into other colours not yet available, while still keeping to a split-complimentary scheme that would make the cats pop. All in all, we wanted something that would be eye-catching and fun, but still a touch of sophistication.
I hope we’ve succeeded, and that everyone enjoys the new print!"
FRUITY BOOTY PEACHES BY PAPRICOTS
A simple silly thought that a peach had a booty has inspired over a dozen cute and cheeky characters collectively known as Fruity Booty.

Papricots is excited to show off this peachy perfect underwear collection - the first ever Fruity Booty apparel collaboration. Fruity Booty and Devon + Lang are a perfect match!

FEMME FATALE BY ASHLEY DEVEREUX
Ashley Devereux is a Canadian visual artist who lives and works in Toronto. The “Fat Bottom Girls” art series explores variations on the classical female form, in a celebration of shape and colour. This series is about the positive side of body image, what it means to take pride in the uniqueness of one’s own figure, in all its vibrancy, movement, and beauty.
You can find more of her artwork on Instagram @a.devereux.art – and purchase original paintings on her website!
MELTING SMILIES BY WKNDRS
WKNDRS is created and cultivated by Rachel Rivera and Claire Ouchi as a way to fuel their passion for art, design, and spreading positive vibes to the world. Their work includes themes of unorthodox, light and playful aesthetics where colour plays an effervescent role.
They look to question and push the boundaries of where art can be created and seen, everything is a canvas. WKNDRS strive to connect with their community through artistic endeavours and make art and design accessible to all.
Bring joy and fun to the world with the Melting Smilies print! We introduce WKNDRS x Devon + Lang — our latest Happy Happy print! It's all about the good times. :)
COWBOY DUCKS BY SLIGHTLY TOASTED BAGEL

She is influenced by the day-to-day, the ordinary, and the desire to stop and appreciate the simple little things. Her work can be recognized by bright colours and friendly, soft lines.
DAZY BY TRIPPY HIPPY
Victoria Pattersnon, Canadian born-and-bred fashion designer, working under the name Trippy Hippy is the creator of the Devon + Lang Dazy pattern.
Victoria's love of music, culture, and self-expression guide her designs, and she is heavily influenced by youth culture, and the notion of inward reflection and self-discovery.
