“IT’S HERE!!!!! I’m a winner! Congrats to the whole team from work. This Telly award is a pretty cool achievement. Of COURSE I’m going to do a photoshoot!

“I storyboarded and helped guide the final look and feel of my company’s brand anthem video.”

Fun fact: I worked on the winning project last year while wearing a respirator mask! It’s only an obstacle if you treat it like one. A big thanks to my employers, Ruff Tuff Products, for understanding my need to stay safe.”

I just finished this portrait of my little roommate, Fenrir! He was just 6 weeks old in my reference photo – he’s grown up so much since then! I’ll be posting a progress video soon on my Instagram account: @melanie_creates_it

“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.”




Katrina Parkinson

“Katrina here! Behold, my biggest oil painting yet. Hudson and I built this 3ft X 4ft custom canvas ourselves. I have been spending lots of time painting hands lately. Hopefully I will keep better! This original will be up for sale on our website shortly. We will also have art print options available. I will be doing a varnishing video for this price soon as well now that it is dry.”

“Some patterns from Maggie Holmes’ Market Square. I really loved working on this collection – the colors, icons, florals… You name it! A true favorite.”

“One product I really enjoyed working on for Market Square was a mini box of cards shaped like a store. It’s a concept we’ve done before, but it was fun to adapt it for this collection and put my own stamp on it. 🤩 So little!” 💕

“I hope to post more of my 9-5 stuff. It’s my bread and butter and I’m pretty proud of most of it! I figure as long as I’m doing the work, I might as well share it here.” 🌼🌿🌷

“It’s been a while since I last posted. Here is another character from the #EmyandHerald character lineup. This is Grandma. She spends her days enjoying her retirement and taking care of Emy. She may seem a bit eccentric, but underneath that quirky exterior she has a kind heart. Also… don’t mess with her family. I hear she is very proficient with that rifle.”

“Here’s another #EmyandHerald character!This is Leon. Leon is Emy’s cousin. If you need to know anything about random pop culture facts, Leon is your guy. Just don’t ask him what his favorite class is in Gozar Legends, or you’ll never leave.”

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!”

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.”
