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.”

“@stampinupofficial released the January–April 2023 Mini Catalog today! Here’s a background stamp I designed called Hand-drawn Dots. Somehow the Concept Artist knew to use my brand colors. 😉

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.”

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.”

“Watching the last of the butterflies before everything freezes and winter arrives. I dread this day more than any other day of the year. I go to bed with a beautiful,colorful garden and wake up to frozen flowers that quickly turn black. Saying goodbye to my garden until Spring is one of the hardest things for me mentally. I put so much work into my garden that seeing it all die so quickly is a bit sad.” 🖤

I thought it would be fun to use it as a base to create more illustrations and patterns as a collection. Then, the question of whether to retain the look and feel of the original illustration style or to update it with the more current style I have been using for digital illustrations.”

“T-shirt featuring a character from my book series. Those who are members of the Future Day Saints Fan Club know where to find it, everyone else will have to wait on the book, which comes out sometime soon.”

“Last night I learned that I won the 2021 Association for Mormon Letters Award for comics for my book Future Day Saints: Welcome To New Zion. I was frantically busy last night and didn’t have a chance to properly respond, but I would like to now.

It is a huge honor to have my little book recognized by AML, a juried award given out annually to the best works “by, for, and about Mormons.” It was an honor to be among the other nominees in all of the categories.

To be honest it came as a huge surprise. I never expected Future Day Saints to take off the way it has. It’s approach is so niche and esoteric that I was worried that nobody would get or care what I was trying to do.

So a huge thanks to AML and a huge thanks to everyone who has supported Future Day Saints over the last year. To those who interviewed me, reviewed my book, and asked me to speak to your classes. You can’t know how much it means to me.”
