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.

Just finished and delivered a commission of 20 pyramid-inspired paintings! I really enjoyed this project. I started making these small pyramid paintings about a month ago, and on Friday someone came in, saw them in the shop @cooperyounggallery and asked if I could do 20 more by Monday (yesterday) to give out as graduation gifts. I don’t usually work that fast (and next time I’ll have to ask for more time) but it was really fun. I love the way they turned out and I’m looking fir are to making more! I have to say I really enjoyed working on 20 paintings at the same time— I found myself experimenting more and trying new things in a way that I didn’t by always do when working in one or two paintings at a time. #cooperyounggallery #cooperyounggiftshop #memphisart #memphisartist #shoplocal901 #ilovememphis #choose901

Happy to share this how-to I did for @adobecreate! I walk through my steps for creating a repeat pattern in #adobeillustrator. I start with artwork I created on my #ipadpro in #adobedraw. I share lots of tips along with step-by-step instructions. Let me know if you have any questions! Big huge thanks to #Adobe for this awesome assignment! #ipadart #repeatpattern #patternsesign #surfacedesign #adobedrawing #adobecreate #arttutorial

Y’all, what a FUN night! @weezer in Memphis and we were front row, center. They opened the show by coming down in front of the stage and singing this barbershop quarter style version of Buddy Holly. I can’t believe this vid turned out this well because I was shaking being this close to my all-time favorite band! We met a lot of cool folks and made some new friends including the fun, funny and creative @riverscuomeme! Joel and I haven’t gone out on the town much since opening our shop @cooperyounggallery so we kind of went all out last night! It was definitely a night to remember. Best concert experience ever, hands down. #weezer #weezerconcert

I have one spot left for tomorrow night’s iPad drawing workshop at @cooperyounggallery. We’ll be making art on our iPads using the #Adobe mobile apps — Capture, Draw and Sketch. Join us! This artwork was created for pouches for the Adobe Creative Jams. Thanks to @lizign for the assignment and the photos! #ipadart #adobedrawing #artworkshop

I’ve added two new in-person #ipadworkshops at the @cooperyounggallery in January. I hope to see some of you local #memphis folks there! We’ll be working in the #Adobe mobile apps: Illustrator Draw, Capture and Photoshop Sketch. We’ll learn how to create and use your own brushes and stamps, how to create original artwork, and I’ll share some of my techniques and shortcuts for working on the iPad. FYI You’ll need to bring your own iPad! We had a lot of fun last time! Link to signup and details in profile!
