“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.”

Amber Giles

“It’s been a while since I’ve had some time to work on a personal project… Ever since the inauguration I’ve wanted to letter these two sections from The Hill We Climb by @amandascgorman.I’ve seen a lot of people focus on the very last section of the poem (second image) but I really loved this part about how we can make love become our legacy (first image). Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your talent!”

Matt Page

“Daisy and her favorite toy.”


Katrina Flores Parkinson

“Getting back to the sketchbook. I successfully filled my whole sketchbook from last year and plan to do the same with my new one. Getting back to your own style is always so refreshing after finishing commissions. There will soon be prints available. I’ve also ordered this drawing as a canvas print that I will add gold leaf to.”


Missy Van Wagoner

“IT’S COMING!!!! Here is the start of my website (Click on link to see my babies). I’m adding more today, tomorrow and pretty much forever.

“Here’s a digital gouache painting I did of @impoppy her new album is really great!” 🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤

Some recent favs I’ve done for @idrawrandomfollowers


Derek & Brighton Ballard

“Twin Peaks aired 30 years ago today. Reposting some Twin Peaks inspired items we’ve created over the past 5 years. Here are some shots of a collaborative coffee release with @bluecoppercoffee and limited edition screen printed poster for Spoke Art Gallery.”

“This pin was actual inspired by The Return | Epsiode 8.”

Listen I know we all have a love/hate relationship with the USPS. Let’s take this time to show the USPS some love. It appears in the race to privatize everything and concede to the desire of corporations, our federal government doesn’t give a bucket of piss for any programs necessary for the good of common people. Only takes a minute or two, start by texting “USPS” to 50409.”

“This is a serious message! We’re warning you with peace and love, we’ve got a new bandanna coming your way! 🚨🚨🚨 This 100% cotton bandanna is inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, and is a brand new release for Spoke Art’s online gallery celebrating all things Miyazaki on April 16th! Check out @spoke_art for the details, and join us in your quarantine outfit of choice.” 🛍📦

. . .
Simple lettering style, both done freehand. One with a blue pen and the other with the Pen Tool.”

“Late Night Lettering Lyrics (and song titles).” 🎶📝


Melissa Hurd

“I did a thing!”


Kim Jeppson

“These are some little cards I’ve been painting when I have a minute. They’re not perfect, as you can see. Some of them have blobs that I tried to erase, some of the dots ran together… I really enjoyed just painting for no other reason than I like doing it. There is a power and peace in creating something purely for the fun of it!”


 Matt Page

“The latest piece in a series I started in 2014. Our little guy is now in those awkward teen years.”

“Here is the progression of new Family Portrait drawing I did last week. Start with a really loose and messy sketch, then tighten it up, then put down my inks and shading, then the tattoos and colors.”

Lettering Practice for Today.

I added the crown in between the L and C to fill the space. I like the idea of a broken crown might have to incorporate it into an illustration.
