The past few years, I have written an annual summary post at the end of the year. 2020 has certainly toppled a lot of expectations for how the year should have gone. Most everybody felt a lot of negative events versus positive. Myself included. Here’s my attempt at wrapping the year 2020. The short story... Continue Reading →
Adobe Fresco
“As Above So Below” created in Fresco with adjustments and gradients added later in Photoshop (desktop). In digital drawing apps, I might be one of the few that prefers Adobe Fresco over Procreate. While I enjoy Procreate, I find myself using Fresco more for its simplicity. Fresco was initially called "Project Gemini" and combined the... Continue Reading →
The Grievers Art and Digital Paint explorations
Oh snap! I guess I had this post in my drafts for over a few months and never got around to publishing. Created in Adobe Sketch, then finished in Adobe Fresco using some of the oil painting live brushes. I had a lot of issues with it initially in Sketch. Luckily the new tools available...

Most artists use a resource like Linktree, but... Continue Reading →

One of the hardest courses I took so far was Desktop Publishing in the Classroom, which focused on using InDesign. InDesign, while not a complete mystery to me like Illustrator, still eludes me on the... Continue Reading →

You can create low fidelity wire frames for websites and other design formats and then prototype the links and functions. From there you... Continue Reading →
Adobe Education Exchange: Adobe Spark
I found out recently that Adobe hosted a free workshop site for educators called Adobe Education Exchange (or AdobeEdEx) to learn CC programs and expand on what can be taught in the classroom. I've been wanting to expand all my skill sets when it comes to what I can do at my job, teaching, and... Continue Reading →
