“Another sneak peek.”

“One of my favorite parts of what I do is when I I get to collaborate with other creative women to see my sketches and prints come to life on their products. Meeting all of the incredible women Lime Ricki Swimwear made me even more excited about this collection. I can’t wait for the release so I can show you more.”

Erin Salazar

“I drew this a few days ago and I was looking up elk spiritual meanings. Interesting what I found. The elk symbolism teaches you about the need to pace yourself. You may be working too hard or overextending yourself, so learn to say no and delegate so that you don’t end up with no energy. The meaning of the elk also focuses on your strength and stamina, and your endurance for the long road ahead. You have the power to speed up or slow down, but this will depend on your energy and health levels. Just because you know you can do it doesn’t mean that you should go ahead and abuse your body. The elk appears to you when you are forgetting to take a break and subjecting your body to stress and unhealthy habits.”

“Black Cat offers you strength and flexibility. Turn to Black Cat as a Power Animal when you feel behind and need to beat the odds. You can invoke Black Cat when life brings many changes too fast and makes adaptability a necessity. The Black Cat is a confident and proud creature. It takes pride in its appearance. If you are avoiding self-care, Black Cat comes in to show you there’s no need to fear a little preening!”




Chris Van Soolen

“Not in a coloring mood, but I inked it!”

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.”

“Something I haven’t really mentioned here is that I battle a few mental illnesses. The past several years have been quite the struggle and let’s just say I stopped creating. As I’m healing, I’m trying to find my creative self again. It’s a fight, but I’m working on it. It’s such an accomplishment for me when I create something I’m happy with.”
