https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccO1rjBbR/?igshid=1jxpsbxlr24qt Piggybacking on my previous post about Adobe Capture, I've also been using the program to create quick patterns for multiple projects. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rSIoxD0Q7/?igshid=1g5ikxluk0xwz Adobe has a pattern option in the camera/image import. I like using it sparingly because it has limitations on the quality produced. The color vector patterns are splotchy; the bitmap patterns are... 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 →
Masks Part 2: Now on Society6!
You probably remember my last post on having masks. Well, it didn't take long for Society6 to jump on the bandwagon. Now they have their version, a pleated design. The design choice does disrupt the printed images a little, but I think it works best for patterns. Another positive addition to Society6 having masks available... Continue Reading →
The Ghost Story – abstract designs on Society6
Around a year ago, I made a second Society6 store as a lark. I sort of forgot about it after I uploaded the designs. I accidentally logged into a few weeks ago and realized that I made a sale (ha)! You’ll notice that these designs are a far cry from my usual illustrations. These were... Continue Reading →
Art on Masks
You can now buy my art on masks. What a weird time to be alive? I’ve had the designs up for awhile now. I never really thought several months ago that we would be in global pandemic. Enough time has passed that it’s become “the new normal” and masks are slowly becoming more commonplace. I’m... Continue Reading →
Art Tips: Society6 Affiliate links!
Awhile back Society6 rolled out an affiliate links feature. This was meant to boost sales and help out curators. I’m not big on curating other people’s art (I might if my social media presence was a big deal), but I did add the links to all of my posts and sites. Society6’s Affiliate Program launch...

Inktober 2019
Every year it sneaks up on me... INKTOBER! Last year I did awesome. I actually completed all the challenge prompts. Did I do it well? Debatable. But I did push myself to make a daily practice. Inktober usually comes at the perfect time when I feel complacent in my studio practice. The daily challenges give... Continue Reading →
Art Tips: Society6 – Beating the Algorithm part 1
I'm back to my series of posts that will try to pick apart my okay-success (let's face it, there are better ways to earn cash, this is not one of them) with Society6. A lot of what I learned, I learned through trial and error and testing out the methods mentioned in the Society6 Seller's... Continue Reading →
New art: Inktober “Drool” Cerberus sketch
I have "new" art posted on Society6. Another one of my #Inktober artworks. I did a little cleaning up from the sketch, but for the most part, relatively unchanged. You can compare the original sketch with the final version below. I got inspired by my initial research into wolfsbane for the "poison" prompt. It has... Continue Reading →
Inktober “Spell” now for sale!
I finally added at least one Inktober artwork to my original art store! I can't say I will add the others, at least not in their original forms (might paint quite a few of them), but they will show up on either the store or S6 in one way or another over the next few... Continue Reading →
