Melanie Bunch

“A two-sided flyer that I just completed. One of the biggest challenges of this project was in creating all of the color swatches for the sheepskin. I had one large piece that I photographed at all kinds of different angles and lighting to try and capture the texture. Then I altered the best photo in Photoshop 11 times to make all of the right colors.”

“I also wrote and/or edited together most of the copy.”

“It’s finally open! Announcing the launch of my art merchandise shop! While the platform I chose (threadless.com) is a little clunky to navigate for shoppers, they do offer a wide variety of products at fairly reasonable prices.”

“There are T-shirts, stickers, mugs, blankets, shower curtains, notebooks – it’s got a lot! I haven’t set up every design to sell on every item, so let me know if there’s something you really wish was in there.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve shared my art on here. I’m still drawing a lot, in fact I have something really cool cooking up I’m excited to share soon. But for the meantime. Here’s a couple recent favorites from each of my art pages: @swoodydraw and @idrawrandomfollowers




Derek Ballard

Clark Stewart Radlander’s wonderful Showerhead Cheatsheet poem and performance inspired Brighton Carper Ballard and I to make it into zine format. It is a 24 page coil bound, 2 color risograph printed zine. I can’t wait for you all to read it and see Brighton’s fantastic illustrations.

The release show will be at our Riso Geist studio downtown and feature 2 readings by clark! himself. One at 7PM and the other at 9PM. Both will have different opening acts.

Zines will be available for purchase at the event. Any unsold zines will then be available at Gridzine Fest the following weekend. These are very limited, so snag one while you can.”




Brighton Carper Ballard

https://brightoncarperballard.com/LEER/

“Hello, I have worked with an incredible team of people to create LEER, a recorded table reading of the feature-length screenplay I wrote last year. Derek Ballard did some killer production design, Scott Wasilewski elevated everything to beyond next level with music and background foley, and Wesley Walter Johnson engineered, mixed, and mastered it.

This is something I’m extremely proud of, and even happier to share with the world now that it’s complete. Please give LEER a listen, and share it around if you like it, so I can get Seth Rogen to be in it!” 🙏

There will be other new and exciting FDS products at Sunstone too but I still have about three months* to get those ready.

*Assuming they do it at the end of July like they usually do.”

“I drew our family this morning at church.”




Katrina Parkinson

“The Star. Tarot painting of the day. It brings renewed hope and faith and a sense that you are truly blessed by the universe at this time.”

“The Ace of Cups. This card shows a chalice overflowing with five streams of water that represent your emotions and intuition flowing from you. This card may show up at the beginning of a new relationship whether it be romantic or a friend or family connection.”

“Katrina here. I started a new painting last night, second in my Ukrainian series (pictures of the first coming later). Here is what my sketch looked like before I started toning my canvas. My heart has been heavy for the Ukrainian people as they have been driven from their homes in the wake of the destruction of war. People have lost their lives and left mourning loved ones behind. As an artists when you feel helpless and can’t do anything else, you make art. This painting will depict hungry Ukrainian refugees reaching for bread that is being distributed. I am working from a photo that was in the New York Times newspaper, it’s an image that has touched my heart. I will be selling prints and possibly even the original painting later this month at @galleryon28 at their fundraiser for Ukraine. All profits will be donated to a Ukrainian relief organization. I will post more information on the event soon. ” #galleryon28 #ukraine #ukrainefundraiser #war #ukrainianwar #refugees #painting #oilpainting #paintingforacause #sarrowful #artistsoninstagram

Amber Giles

“Happy Spring!🌸🐝

I have been thinking about the first day of spring today and what it represents. New growth, new beginnings, starting fresh and moving forward.

Flowers don’t automatically pop out of the ground. They have to go from their seeds/bulbs, struggle to push through layers and layers of dirt making sure they are getting the nutrients they need from the soil and moisture in the ground around them. Even when they reach the surface, there is still growing to be done before the flowers can bloom with their bright, vibrant colors.

If you feel you are in the midst of what seems to be endless, perpetual struggles in any or all areas of life, take courage. As this new season of the year begins, I hope you can remember that even flowers take time to bloom. There may be struggles to get there, but the end result is always worth it. So keep working. Keep going. Even if it is just one inch at a time. This season of struggle will pass and will lead you to some beautiful things in life.” ❤️🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻

“Disconnect from the constantly moving, ever busy world around you to reconnect with who you really are.”

“It’s okay to take a step back when you are feeling overwhelmed with everything going on around you. We are constantly bombarded with podcasts, music, streaming services, social media, ads, games… We are not robots and need time to rest and recharge.”

“Closing off outside sources of constant noise and taking time to sit, be still and listen to the thoughts that move through my head has been a huge help in starting to reconnect with who I am. I still have a way to go but finding time to be still has been very beneficial. How do you disconnect from the world to reconnect with yourself?”




Matt Page

“Here is one of the projects I worked on at the real estate business I worked for. They were trying to get investors to invest in the two buildings marked in red. The POV is looking west onto downtown Salt Lake City. The story is that the four blocks east of State Street and south of 100 South are growing and what we think of as “hot downtown property” will soon include those four blocks.

So in order to help illustrate it, I wanted to show the skyline, with all the big existing buildings in the background and the blocks we’re focusing on in the foreground.

The top is what it looked like 5 years ago, the middle is what it looks like now (the green buildings are new) and the bottom is what it will look like in 5 years (the yellow buildings are planned).”

I recently just taught a class for the Tooele County Arts Guild on stamp carving and it was a blast.

The ‘Butter Ball’, ‘Butter Dog’, ‘Dog with the Butter’, and ‘ButterTini’ Anorak jackets were created by yours truly and are available at drink-butter.com.

What started as a platform to post our films, edits, and IG cuts, quickly evolved into a place where skiers from all over the state, nation, and world have gradually come together over one shared interest — butter. Some of these skiers I’ve looked up to for years, some have just recently started to inspire me, and there will be plenty more down the line. 

The whole point behind the butter is to spread love within the free-skiing community.

Specifically, to build up underdog skiers, crews, and brands that are beneficial for the culture, while also paying respect to those who paved the way for our sport. With the revenue from these designs, I plan to support other phenomenal people and projects within our community.

While it is always a great feeling to stomp a backflip, it’s even more special to encourage a friend to do their first. Here is to paying it forward and building up the next generation of skiers. 🍸

Ryan Bangerter

“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.”




Cassidy Demkov

“Today’s sketch.”

Kim Jeppson

“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!”

“Final selection for the @logolounge Book 13. Sometimes concepts don’t get selected by the client. This little mockup was left on the cutting room floor. Simple monogram mockup as part of a bigger brand rollout for a apparel/affirmation brand.”

“Another one for the @logolounge Book 13. This little guy was part of a bigger project centered around luchadors.⁣”

“It’s been a while since I shared some drawings. Here’s some recent favs. Including a new self portrait.”




Derek & Brighton Ballard

02.18.22 — The Gear Fund Collective Benefit Show.

“Definitely ready to play a show again. I’ve truly missed it. Tickets are on sale through @beehiveslc and all proceeds go to the Gear Fund Collective.

The Gear Fund Collective are doing critical work in the community. This show has been put together in effort to raise funds in support of the collective.

There are so many economical and systemic obstacles preventing marginalized individuals and communities from accessing the outdoors in ways so many of us rarely have to consider.

We have an opportunity to support and amplify those who are working hard to tear those obstacles down. So beyond packing the venue, let’s get creative and really make this count. I know a lot of my friends have connections to outdoor brands and businesses. We still have a little time to get additional donations and funding gathered for the collective. Let’s see what we can do!”




Melanie Bunch

“Continuing progress on my Year of the Tiger drawing! I inked my sketch lines using brush pens. Then I sketched the stripes. Stay tuned for more progress!




Natalee Cooper Chilton

“One of my favorite memories of last summer was hiking with my dad, Nick and Kayto 24 miles in the Wind Rivers. Photos don’t do it justice so I wanted to create something to help me remember those memories.”




Cassidy Demkov

“I’ve had a bunny on my wishlist forever but since I am not Beatrix Potter and I don’t live in the English countryside I just have to draw them in there. Which is probably good because I’m sure they would think my little garden was just a beautiful buffet.”




Karli Duisen

“I’ve been making a lot of little stained-glass critters! And I started an Etsy shop to help fund this new hobby of mine 😜 so check it out if you’re interested in commissioning me for stained-glass pieces of your pets!” ✨🐶🐱

“I did a thing! Had a wonderful opportunity to design a logo for this hilarious facebook group. If you’re into dog sports and haven’t joined yet……WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!! It’s a place to celebrate the beauty of the “FAIL” in dog sports, where we can all take a minute and just laugh at ourselves and embrace the crazy, messed up things we do for the love of our dogs.”




Jen Terry

“Meet Strawberry! She’s a cute little hamster who loves the smell of fresh wood chips in the morning and taking a couple of laps in the exercise wheel. I love Strawberry!” 🍓
