Davin Abegg

“It’s been a minute since I’ve shared some of my recent drawings on here so here you go!”



Sharon Salmond Armstrong

“My students did a great job yesterday and today on their sidewalk chalk art. If you get a chance to go by Legacy Junior High I would highly recommend checking them out.”



Vince Bayless

“2021 Day 148: Air”

“Jim Bob Drawing Show prompt 5/27/21-Ironic Creature.”



Lacee Black

“How do you feel about revisiting old work? Lately I have been wanting to expand on this marigold pattern I created back in 2018 for a pattern challenge. 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.”

“One more kid down! Now on to the pattern!!”

“And the pattern revamp is finally done! This was a lot of fun to do. Thanks for all the feedback and look forward to more patterns to go with this one.”



Cassidy Demkov

“A little floral I did for a recent project. I really love a good monotone floral but the color version was pretty too. Which is your favorite?”

“Have a great week.” 💛



Brittani Hodgkinson

“I LOVE haute couture! And Cruella has some crazy good pieces.”



Anamaye Sakura Lanayru

“It’s hot out there this week so we’re working from home if we can. Love this cute header graphic I made to make sure the department is informed.”



Matt Page

“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.”

Katrina Parkinson

From Black Rabbit Studio:

“Last night was the last session of our eight week Portrait Drawing workshop! We had five amazing students in this class. Here is the last portrait demo created by instructor Katrina Flores. Thanks to all who participated!”

“I’m being encouraged by Hudson to work in my sketch book at least fifteen minutes a day during what has been a bit of a struggle in my life when it comes to my artistic endeavors. Tonight’s practice piece resulted in this mystical beauty. Sometimes a simple practice piece can result in something quite lovely. Some days I wish I had horns!” 🖤

“Here is the finished drawing. It’s about a woman that is attacked by life but she has developed an armor and protects her worth.”


Vince Bayless

“Day 22-Bongo the Bouncer from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”


Molly Dallimore

“Also wanted to share some concepts I’ve been messing with and wanted some opinions. I’m trying to go with a cute creepy kind of vibe but not sure what kind of applications to use it for…. stickers, children’s book, product marketing? Still in the concept stage.”


Amber Giles

“Unplug to recharge. Definitely can be difficult in a world where everything is at your fingertips, but consider walking farther with your feet than your thumbs for a day or two and see how much more you can accomplish.” 😉


Sam Loertscher

DS Creative:

“Some recent #logo and branding work/color studies for a #dentist and local #slc biz that sells bulk #chocolate and baking supplies #typography #design #branding #brandingdesign

Keith Beard

“Head to ‘feeling a little blue while sitting on a pile of bull’ piece for the sugarcoated show in March.”


Cassidy Demkov

Spent the last week in Mexico and got so much inspiration. I love all of the pretty tiles and embroidered goods. Here’s a little repeat tile pattern I did a while ago that didn’t ever make it onto anything but I love it.


Amber Giles

“Today’s hand lettering is brought to you by the letter G.” 😉


Ben Heighton

“Toxic. A girl like you should wear a warning. My latest destroy doll.”


Matt Page

“Panther sketch.”


Melissa Healy Turner

“Some pun-related valentines illustrations I did for Crate Paper’s Main Squeeze collection. The original color palette is in the second photo, but I think it’s fun to see what it would look like in a less traditionally “Valentine’s Day” color palette.” 🎨🦄🐈🐶🐢🌈


Becky Larsen Pease

“B&W of my life, day 65”


Sharon Salmond Armstrong

Tyson Huber

“New year, new business card.”


Magen Mitchell

I’m super stoked to be working on custom toys again. I’ve got a huge box of blanks that I’ve been meaning to get around to.


Matt Page

“On this day 7 years ago, there was an article about me and my Mormon-themed art in the Salt Lake Tribune. It was very exciting day for me and it’s all been downhill since.”
