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.

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

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!

Another take in yesterday's design-- this time with some curves thrown in and a dark background! Working in #AdobeDraw on my #iPadPro! #surfacedesign #digitalart #ApplePencil

Happy, sunny art created on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw! This one was a lot of fun! #ApplePencil #digitalart

My friend @poriiana introduced me to the MOST lovely music and I've been playing it nonstop in the studio-- this artwork was created while listening to the album Thinking About Thursdays from @lullatone. The music is wordless, so it is perfect for working to. It is both energizing and relaxing, and it has a really happy, positive feel to it-- I can't recommend enough! Artwork created on my #iPadPro in #AdobeDraw! Happy weekend to you!! #ApplePencil #digitalart

Time-saving tip for working in #AdobeDraw-- save your frequently used motifs as Shapes in #AdobeCapture. You can then access them in Draw and use them multiple times without having to redraw them! I'm working on my #iPadPro in #Adobe Illustrator Draw and I'm using the #ApplePencil. 🍎 ✏️ I added a couple of screenshots to the slideshow-- I hope this is helpful! #digitalart

Dot dot dot... Working in #AdobeDraw on my #iPadPro. Tip: turn off the pressure and velocity dynamics if you want the dot size to stay the same. See pic in slideshow for settings! #surfacedesign #ApplePencil

Some artwork popped up in my feed a couple of days ago that made me think of these designs I did back in 2014. I'd completely forgotten about them, but I still really like them! Sometimes I get in such a habit of creating more and making new work that I forget to go back through my own files and appreciate the work that I've already done. These still make me happy! They were created on my iPad in either Adobe Sketch or Adobe Line (which is Draw now). #surfacedesign #digitalart #ipadart #patternobserver

I created these cute little #notebooks featuring one of my fave new designs! They are available now on Amazon-- link in profile! They come in two sizes, 8.5 x 11 and 4 x 6, and six different colorways. Look through the slides to see the different color options and he interior pages. These notebooks are really well-made and the perfect place for all your creative ideas! #surfacedesign #flowers #journaling
