Esther Longmore

“Here’s one of my most recent patterns.”




Matt Page

“Sketch to remind me of an idea I will explore further next year, after I finish the FDS book. Probably will end up as a zine.”

“I’ve been loving Wednesday. She’s a gothic and autistic icon. If her style takes off in the real world, it will be the best thing that ever happened to Hot Topic. You wouldn’t hear me complain.”

If you feel overwhelmed, try my book for 30 minutes and you will notice the interrupting thoughts will slowly disappear.

I’d love to see what kind of world you make with my book! Have fun and doodle on!”

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.”

“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.”

“Faux-3D variation of the Dr. Sunstone piece I posted yesterday.” #FutureDaySaints

“I was not expecting the great response my first Future Day Saints book received. I figured a sci-fi utopian fantasy which combines Mormon mythology with 80s cartoon/toy properties would end up being too niche and weird for anyone but me. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project and been so complimentary about it. I hope you all like the sequel, which is coming soon!” #futuredaysaints

“Double your Impact marketing campaign for @evenstevenssandwiches. The Utah based sandwich shop previously promoted a “Eat to Give” business model which supported 80+ non-profit partners across 6 states. The process was simple: At the end of each month, they tallied sandwich sales and contributed funds for each sandwich purchased. Each restaurant would then donate to 4 selected local charities in need of assistance.The goal of the campaign was to promote the process of the Give Back program and highlight each of the individual non-profit organizations.”

“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.”

“I saw this on a Christmas card at my sister’s and the sentiment stayed with me. It’s not really a resolution, just a state of mind and well-being I’d like to hold on to. I’ve carried some negative feelings this past week and that’s just no way to live or start the new year. So I’m processing the negativity, learning what I need to, and trying to maintain a more hopeful outlook. Even though falling to pieces seems like an attractive option, too!” 🤔😅
