“Shirt design for Salt Lake Hardcore band SPENT. Thanks to Ryan for reaching out for the opportunity.

I immediately connected with the message and the imagery quickly followed. @spent.hc is out their working hard and doing great things. Catch them at a show or give them a listen.”

Melanie Bunch

“I’ve added a new design to my shop! Did I put this design up there just so I could order stuff for myself? Maaaaaaybe…

“NEW DESIGN! I’ve done this labrador in a messier, more painterly style. I’ve also kept it to just black and white, and I really like the minimalist looks this gives it!”

Saul Flores

“Immersed in the rhythm šŸŽµ I see and capture the essence of the concrete environment to create a visual story that reflects the vibrancy and energy of urban life. Every element of the city provides a canvas to showcase the unique beauty that can be found amidst the chaos.”

Rachel Tonkovich

“Just like when I was a student, I always make 3D dummies of large print projects. This not only helps me visualize how the print will look in 3D space, but it also helps the client see what the final result will look like. I think clients sometimes have a hard time picturing the final result of a flat-looking illustrator file, so dummies are essential! Here are the dummies I made for the vending machine project.”

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.”




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.”

Hudson Parkinson

“The Queen of Pentacles. This one turned out quite dramatic in color pallet and design. This card represents having the ability to balance the responsibilities of being a loving, nurturing parent figure while also maintaining financial support for your family. Thanks to @theposearchives for the photo reference for this piece!”

“Some more paper patterns from Market Square. Besides the cats and pigs my dad would draw on our church programs, horses were one of the first animals I learned to draw as a child. I may not ride ā€˜em, but I’ll draw ā€˜em.” šŸŽ

Davin Abegg

“It’s been a while since I’ve shared my art on here. I’m still drawing a lot, in fact I have something really cool cooking up I’m excited to share soon. But for the meantime. Here’s a couple recent favorites from each of my art pages: @swoodydraw and @idrawrandomfollowers




Derek Ballard

Clark Stewart Radlander’s wonderful Showerhead Cheatsheet poem and performance inspired Brighton Carper Ballard and I to make it into zine format. It is a 24 page coil bound, 2 color risograph printed zine. I can’t wait for you all to read it and see Brighton’s fantastic illustrations.

The release show will be at our Riso Geist studio downtown and feature 2 readings by clark! himself. One at 7PM and the other at 9PM. Both will have different opening acts.

Zines will be available for purchase at the event. Any unsold zines will then be available at Gridzine Fest the following weekend. These are very limited, so snag one while you can.”




Brighton Carper Ballard

https://brightoncarperballard.com/LEER/

“Hello, I have worked with an incredible team of people to create LEER, a recorded table reading of the feature-length screenplay I wrote last year. Derek Ballard did some killer production design, Scott Wasilewski elevated everything to beyond next level with music and background foley, and Wesley Walter Johnson engineered, mixed, and mastered it.

This is something I’m extremely proud of, and even happier to share with the world now that it’s complete. Please give LEER a listen, and share it around if you like it, so I can get Seth Rogen to be in it!” šŸ™

“So excited to finally debut the new DHHS logo that I worked jointly on with @pennapowers as well as my DHHS color palette that I’m absolutely in love with!” #graphicdesign #logodesign #logo #utahdhhs #graphicdesigner #utah




Matt Page

“Here’s a little something I’ve been working on to debut at Sunstone this summer… a new Ashcan comic zine thing with process art, concept designs, and a four page preview of the next book. This will have to hold everyone over until the book comes out next year.

There will be other new and exciting FDS products at Sunstone too but I still have about three months* to get those ready.

*Assuming they do it at the end of July like they usually do.”

“Drawing I did last night as part of an inside joke with my coworkers.”

“I drew our family this morning at church.”




Katrina Parkinson

“The Star. Tarot painting of the day. It brings renewed hope and faith and a sense that you are truly blessed by the universe at this time.”

“The Ace of Cups. This card shows a chalice overflowing with five streams of water that represent your emotions and intuition flowing from you. This card may show up at the beginning of a new relationship whether it be romantic or a friend or family connection.”

“Katrina here. I started a new painting last night, second in my Ukrainian series (pictures of the first coming later). Here is what my sketch looked like before I started toning my canvas. My heart has been heavy for the Ukrainian people as they have been driven from their homes in the wake of the destruction of war. People have lost their lives and left mourning loved ones behind. As an artists when you feel helpless and can’t do anything else, you make art. This painting will depict hungry Ukrainian refugees reaching for bread that is being distributed. I am working from a photo that was in the New York Times newspaper, it’s an image that has touched my heart. I will be selling prints and possibly even the original painting later this month at @galleryon28 at their fundraiser for Ukraine. All profits will be donated to a Ukrainian relief organization. I will post more information on the event soon. ” #galleryon28 #ukraine #ukrainefundraiser #war #ukrainianwar #refugees #painting #oilpainting #paintingforacause #sarrowful #artistsoninstagram




Stephanie Smith

“I still remember as I was planning my wedding (10 years ago!) how painful it was to spend so much money on the little things, that are inevitably going to be thrown in the garbage anyway (napkins, stationary, envelopes, flowers, etc.)” 😭

“Every time I create and shoot a flat lay or detail on my couples’ wedding day, I take this into consideration. I strive to capture every intention meant…and every penny spent! (am I right?)”

“If you too are worried about how you are going to preserve these moments and memories, I’ve got this! I dream of these details!” šŸ˜
