“Shirt design for Hemwick. This design is already a couple years old, I am just terrible about posting. Hard to express how absurdly creative, intense and talented this band is, so do yourself a favor and catch one of their shows to learn firsthand. While you are there snag a shirt.”

“It’s the beginning of a new school year which means a new theme for a local elementary school!

This year the theme is Ride the Wave of Learning. My sister (a teacher at the school) sketched out what she wanted and I took her sketch and digitized it. I think it turned out really fun!

For those of you starting school this month, take the opportunity to ride the wave of learning! You never know what you might discover.” 🤙🏼🌊🏄‍♀️

“This piece is up for sale! An original oil painting this piece is a great large statement piece for an empty wall. Measures 3ft wide and 4ft tall. We built this custom canvas by hand. The sides of the canvas are painted so it does not have to be framed but would look great in one! The back of the canvas is papered, it comes with a hanging wire and it just received a coat of varnish.”

“So I did a thing and committed to the black and white feather design for a while. I typically like to use earthy tones in my designs but I’ve printed blankets, zipper bags and now these shoes in the white/black and I’m digging it. I’ll keep playing with colors that might print just as crisp as theses. But for now I think I’ll be ordering this take on my branding style for the season.”

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.

“Inktober Day #17. Only and joy and a half late! I’ve always loved drawing with graphite. Over the last few years I’ve spent more time working on my pen and ink skills.

A couple patterns for a collection called Again & Again, released last fall by @americancrafts and @pinkpaislee. Probably the first floral I ever attempted that I didn’t want to immediately delete from my computer… I love – and hate – the challenge of trying new things and cultivating different skills. Since this pattern, I’ve become much more fond of creating florals! 🌹
