“NEW DESIGN! I’ve done this labrador in a messier, more painterly style. I’ve also kept it to just black and white, and I really like the minimalist looks this gives it!”

Saul Flores

“Immersed in the rhythm 🎵 I see and capture the essence of the concrete environment to create a visual story that reflects the vibrancy and energy of urban life. Every element of the city provides a canvas to showcase the unique beauty that can be found amidst the chaos.”

Rachel Tonkovich

“Just like when I was a student, I always make 3D dummies of large print projects. This not only helps me visualize how the print will look in 3D space, but it also helps the client see what the final result will look like. I think clients sometimes have a hard time picturing the final result of a flat-looking illustrator file, so dummies are essential! Here are the dummies I made for the vending machine project.”

“Another cute dino drawing for you to enjoy. Parasaurolophus is his name. Try saying that 3 times fast. 😆 Also, did you know that butterflies existed during the age of the dinosaurs? I sure didn’t.”

“It’s time for another #EmyandHerald character lineup. This is Heather, Emy’s fellow classmate. Like all good antagonists, Heather believes she is the protagonist of this story. Although Heather is not the most popular girl in her grade, she does have her loyal group of friends. She spends her days “protecting” everyone from Emy by making her the social pariah of the school.”

“I LOVE Alice in Wonderland. Look at the adventures she had because of her curiosity! It’s so easy to forget that there is so much to experience and learn if we just wonder for a minute and be open to the answer. I’ve been working on a couple of designs around Alice and Wonderland, just for fun, and this is one that I finished and uploaded to my Redbubble shop. Stay Curious!”

“Buff and Oz Handmade got the logo I made for them turned into a stamp! 🤩 It’s so beautiful, and this soap is so damn good! I started using bar soap a few years ago to reduce plastic waste. I’ve tried a lot of soaps at this point, and this brand is now my go-to hand soap vendor. (I have to use a dermatologist-rated bar soap in the shower.) Support local!”

Amber Giles

“Each year is what you make it… I’ve tried to take that approach since the beginning of 2020 (before the world stopped and we were rocked by an earthquake). Here are my 22 words for 2022. Some are related to goals I want to accomplish, some are related to things I want to do and some are related to the person I want to become this year. Each year is what you make it, so let’s make it a good one. 👍🏼. . .What would your 22 words look like?”




Lindsay Hope

“After surviving a crazy rough first work week back from holidays I finally got to mess around with paint again. Note to anyone trying pour paint for the first time, gloves would have been a smart move BEFORE dumping blue paint every where.” 🙃




Sheri Morris

“Never in a jillion years did I ever think I would become a sewist and make a quilt! This for me is the silver lining of the pandemic and illness. I love everything about this most excellent pastime, and without being forced to stay home and sit still this would never be a thing. I wonder what other unexpected bits of beauty bloomed during these last few years of hardship?”




Matt Page

“My character Triple Combination from my Future Day Saints graphic novel series.” #futuredaysaints

“Here’s my character Avva from #futuredaysaints listening to records in her bedroom.”




Katrina Parkinson

“Lady of the Lake. Thinking this one would make a neat painting one day.”




Blake Peterson

“Ended the year with two big commissions! These mixed media / remixed vintage ski posters were tough to wrangle but FUN. And the clients were amazing to work with. Anddd the space they are in is so good… first thing you see when you walk in the door! AH. Win win (win) baby.”

“Side note: Growing up whenever I was injured (which was every other year from 8th grade on) I resorted to doing art and evidently that’s still a thing. It’s hard to get myself to sit down and just start on projects (unless I’m down a limb…) with any free time I prefer to be doing outside mountain things. So I need to figure out how to force my future uninjured self to be productive in this way. ” 🤔

“But for the next few months, expect to see a lot more art… created on the couch.”

“Every shoot I do is so unique and different from the last. Whether I am taking photos for a couple experiencing new, young, eager love for the first time or a couple who has experienced many seasons of love together, each shoot I have the opportunity to capture something so unique to their love story. No matter the age or how many years a couple has been together, it’s so special to witness the electric moments of two people falling in love all over again.” 💕

“Another logo! I was contacted by a friend of a friend about a month ago because she was in need of a logo for her podcast “A is for Adversity.” Jen gave me an idea of what her podcast was about and what colors she was looking for and then asked me to use my creativity to create an identity for it. It was a fun, creative process and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to bring her logo to life! Jenifer Banks’ podcast is awesome and she gives a great perspective on topics like overcoming adversity, the importance of venerability, gratitude and understanding. Go check it out wherever you get your podcasts!”

“Want to know something extra exciting about Issue 49 of UPPERCASE magazine? Out of over 800 entries I’ll be one of 100 surface pattern designers featured in it!I decided to submit very last minute. In the middle of a project I took a break and gathered up a few of my patterns that best represented my work and hit submit. I figured it was probably a long shot with so many submissions but it never hurts to try. Nothing will happen if you don’t try, right? That’s my life motto lately, I’ve had a very “might as well go for it” attitude which has me going so many directions at once but I figure I won’t know if I can do it unless I just go for it.

Cassidy was featured in Uppercase Magazine’s All About You!“UPPERCASE publishes beautiful and inspiring books and a quarterly magazine about craft, design and visual art.”

Hello, I am a surface designer and illustrator from Salt Lake City, Utah. I have a passion for gardening and nature, which is where I feel most inspired. I love travelling and bringing home inspiration for new patterns and projects from my trips. I previously worked in the Interior Design industry but always had a passion for patterns and interior textiles. I currently have a small card line and love working with brands to create unique patterns, mostly for textiles such as dog bandanas, clothing and fabric. I hope to move more into the home decor, wallpaper and interior textiles industry which is where my original passion for pattern & design began.”

Dogs and flowers, my two favorite things. Put them together and you’ve got the cutest Spring launch from @thefoggydog. My Perennial Bouquet pattern on their bandana, might be my favorite one yet.Launching next week.

“Exciting to see one of my patterns on one of my first non-fabric or paper products. Loved getting these Lemon Zest candles in the mail. More products with this pattern are on their way.”

Chris’s Favorite Books on Mormonism
By Christopher Angulo

4. Future Day Saints: Welcome to New Zion by Matt Page: Everything about this book is great: the creator did everything on his own; the art is the best (I’m particularly fond of the various depictions of “the Celestial Son”); the stories are light and inspiring; the physical quality of the book is sturdy, and the art is the best! You can order this book from his Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/shop/EPluribusMormon.
