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.”

“Work in progress.”

“New Future Day Saints ashcan will debut at Sunstone Symposium next month. I’m currently working on volume 3 (The New Arrivals) and it will come out next year. This zine will be a sneak peek as to what’s to come.

Ashcan is a term from back in the day for a cheap, small, usually black and white comic they would print to establish a trademark for upcoming titles. In the 80s and 90s, they started releasing ashcan comics as prototypes and for promotional use. They became collectors items.

This will be the second Future Day Saints ashcan I will be releasing. The first was released last year as part of bundles with my second FDS volume. My ashcans contain sketches and process art. It’s basically a zine with background art from the book.”

I’ve been working hard on lots of new products just for this market. I will also have some really cute @thefoggydog collars & bandanas that I designed.”

“Boring tech news alert 🤓 I get to do a national collab with CivicPlus & GovTech.com all in the name of work tomorrow! As a design lover I’m not totally sure how I became a “go-to” in city technology but I slipped and fell and it just happened LOL. Feeling smart and proud.” https://webinars.govtech.com/

Ryan Bangerter

A “quick’ practice sketch in ink. I’ve got to get ready for #inktober this year.” 😅

“Another practice sketch. Not sure what this one is, but it was fun to draw.” 😁

“I’ve been working on some page layouts with dialog for #EmyandHerald Here is a preview of the first page with #sketches It wasn’t until I started studying layout design that I realized just how much of an art form it is. Leading the reader’s eye from one panel to the next, and trying to follow all of the rules about lettering is challenging, but well worth it.” 😊




Melanie Bunch

“A sampling of the illustrations that I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. My company has developed a new product, and I have written and illustrated the user’s guide. Now that the first drafts are complete, I think I’ll go draw things that don’t have straps and buckles and pockets…”

The (mostly) finished User’s Guide with the illustrations I posted earlier. Management reviewed this document in a meeting yesterday, and it received rave reviews! I wrote the text as well – and the only changes they made were very minor grammatical changes (2 of the managers are former school teachers).Since we make the same pockets on some of our seat covers, they now want a modified version for that. So….now I’ll be drawing more pockets and straps again….hooray!”




Keith Beard

“The great part of being a in-house Creative is you get to make things you never considered. We needed to make sound boards to reduce the reverberation. Fun protect working with our R&D engineer.”

Lauren Waters

“Home from a week at the lake with some family. Our first day was hot, smoky, and left a lot to be desired. We were just about ready to pack it in, but then a thunderstorm blew through our camp and left us with clean air and beautiful skies. 🙌🏻 Loved being in a natural setting, but loved the company even more.” 🌲🌤🏕

“Groceries. 🍊🥫🥜🫑🌶🍪🥛🍗🧅 They don’t change much from week to week. Do you find yourself eating basically the same things day in and day out? And not caring?? 😂 For me it’s homemade chicken fajitas, peanut butter toast, mandarin oranges, and various soups. Because soup is just so easy!”

“Smoke gets in your eyes. And nose. And throat. And lungs. 🔥 The west is on fire and the skies are thick with smoke and pollution. Gray skies are one thing, but gray skies with no chance of rain when we need it most? I’ll pass, thanks.”
