A New Painting

June 26, 2009

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend!

One of my fave things of 2016--being a part of this awesome event:

Equipped with Adobe mobile apps, these 16 illustrators, photographers and designers from around the world created unbelievable works of art.

Read about my experience self-publishing coloring books with Amazon/Createspace in this article from Tech Insider.

Another look at my new #iMessagestickers! They're available now in the App Store (link in profile). Thanks so much for your kind words and support of these Stickers! This has been one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on-- it took my back to my days of designing scrapbook kits! All artwork drawn on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw! #digitalart #stickers #imessage

Yay! Yes! OMG! I made an iMessage sticker app and it's available NOW in the App Store-- follow the link in my bio!

Works with iMessage only-- you'll see compatibility settings and installation instructions on the app page! I hope y'all will check it out-- your support is much appreciated!! All of the artwork was drawn on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw! #imessagestickers #digitalart

Still working in #AdobeDraw on my #iPadPro, adding to this drawing a little bit at a time! #digitalart #ApplePencil

Adding more to this #drawing! And I reversed the colors in Illustrator. Created on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw (Adobe Illustrator Draw). #ApplePencil #digitalart #illustration #surfacedesign

Another little #bird friend this morning! Created on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw using an image from the @nypl public domain library for reference. A few of you asked about the texture in my last few drawings... the texture in this one is from a photo of ginkgo leaves that I turned into a shape in Draw-- see additional photos. #ipadart #surfacedesign #digitalart #illustration #nyplremix

Another little #bird friend drawn on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw (app: Adobe Illustrator Draw), shown in two different colorways. #illustration #nyplremix #digitalart #ApplePencil #surfacedesign #ipadart

Today's artwork created on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw (app:Adobe Illustrator Draw). #Drawing is based on an image from the Public Domain archives of the @nypl-- this is an awesome resource you should check out if you haven't already done so! #nyplremix #ApplePencil #illustration #birds #digitalart #surfacedesign

Still working on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw. I duplicated a layer and used the Soft Light blend mode to combine it with the layer below. Swipe left to see my settings. #ApplePencil #ipadart #patternobserver

Work in progress floral-- I drew this on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw. Next I'll send it to my desktop where I'll turn it into a repeat #pattern. #surfacedesign #ipadart #ApplePencil

Today is the day I start designing my Instagram feed as a whole! I love the freedom of posting whatever I want in whatever order I want, but in my case it makes for a messy and scattered-looking feed! My plan: light, dark, light and three in a row of the same general color palette. I'm also going to try to leave a little space in some of the artwork, although that might be the toughest part! Two of my fave feeds: @rob_zilla_iii and @ipadlettering Who do you follow that has a cool way of laying out their posts?? Btw, this coordinating print created on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw! #ApplePencil

I sent yesterday's drawing from my #iPadPro to Adobe #illustrator and made a few color changes! #surfacedesign #AdobeDraw #digitalart

Work in progress on my #iPadPro. I'm drawing in #AdobeDraw with the #ApplePencil. #surfacedesign #digitalart #ipadart

Cool new feature in Adobe Photoshop Sketch! The "paint inside" option, which can be found by clicking on a layer, allows you to draw INSIDE your artwork on that layer and not on the background behind! I included a screenshot of my settings at the end of the video. #AdobeSketch #AdobeCapture #ApplePencil #iPadPro #digitalart

My creative and talented husband @joeltrose just released a full-color book of beautiful photographs of #Memphis and Los Angeles! The photos are accompanied by poetic prose telling a lyrical tale of lost love. It's gorgeous, romantic and wildly creative-- I absolutely love it and I think you will dig it, too!! I helped with the layout, and our sweet cat, Buddy, makes a cameo! Link in profile!
