Episode 115 || Check Out The Shop!

Stoked to finally get some of the new merch up online that I’ve been working on lately! I love working on merch, so it’s always fun to get a little refresh!

Honestly, I’m going to try and work through a few more edits with the shop in the near future, but had to at least get some of the latest stuff up and going for now!

But I’ve got some other stuff that isn’t on the site yet still, so I’ll keep picking away at things, but let me know if there’s anything you know I have, but you don’t see on the site, that you’re interested in!

Also…if you’re local or if I’m going to see you anytime soon, I can also hand deliver stuff, so just let me know if you’d rather do that!

And thanks again, appreciate you checking things out!

Been a good time at the @ccca.1963 conference this week and thankful to be a part of it. I’ve had some great time with some great people, so that’s been fun!

I also really enjoy the Santa Cruz area and so that part has been nice too, just getting to enjoy the beautiful environment and the amazing @mount_hermon campus.

Also fun getting some time with @littlecameronlittle, @blackboxmerch, @pacificbrothersvintage, and plenty of other great folks!

Thanks to the crew who organized the event!

You may have seen the latest Weekly Bolt, Episode 112, and so this is one of my contributions for the book I am working on for Forrest! He loves frogs, so naturally Gabi is one of his favorite characters. So of course, had to include her!

Thanks to those who have reached out and are working on things, I really appreciate it. And if you are interested, feel free to jump in there and be a part of it! You can watch back for more info!

Episode 112 || Forrest & Rio

Seeing Forrest’s passion for the Rio movies lately has been a lot of fun for me to experience. Something clicked for him and it just feels magical. I love how much he loves it.

But sadly, @blueskystudios was shut down a few years back and so it seems like there is not too much hope of any new Rio merch for Forrest. Pretty limited with what’s available out there!

So…as I mentioned, working on putting together a little book for him, and would love for you to be a part of it!! If you’re up for it, I would love to try and gather a collection of drawings, stories, poems, hand lettering, photos that fit the vibe…whatever you might want to contribute! And it could be a specific bird or plant from the movies, or a scene, a quote, a landscape, or something related that is a total spin off…which would be amazing!

Hope that might be fun to pitch in and help me compile something for him! Feel free to send along anything if you’re able to work on something 👍. And let me know if you have any questions!!

Thank you!!

Stoked for some time with some cool folks today! Thanks to @blackboxmerch for a chance to connect and dream through some new projects. And thanks to @backstorycreative for having us in your space for a few and for a chance to see what you’ve got going on!

And seriously…I don’t have a strict deadline to finish my @shopdenik notebooks, but I’m setting one for myself, so that I can get those things done!! Still so thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to wrap that project up and get those in my hands!

Episode 109 || DGDC & Nick Longo || Pumping Up the Industry

I really enjoyed this week’s @dgdcpod episode! A lot of great nuggets in there! And I gotta say…I have a lot of great podcasts I’m constantly working through, so the fact that I listened to this one a second time within a day’s time says a lot! That’s valuable time where I could have listened to something new, but I was just so encouraged listening, that I had to run it back!

And I truly do appreciate what @longodesigns contributes to the creative community! He’s always cheering others on and trying to pump the community up!

Thanks Nick!

Loosely using the phrase “quiet spot”…😂.

But it’s been a good time at the @lasvegasmarket this week, lots of cool connections with different folks. From new people we just met to catching up with old pals, it’s a great opportunity to see people and check out what new stuff is happening!

And make sure to go check out @pyvotco! Lots of cool stuff happening over there!

This week was a good reminder for me that not everything is always fun and exciting and that’s alright! A lot of times we’re just picking away at things that need to get done!

I know I enjoy seeing those chill moments from others, so it’s nice to share the mellow, normal times alongside the fun stuff when it comes around!

Have a great week!

YOU CAN’T CONTROL OUTCOMES, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL OUTPUT.

One of the many fun takeaways from @staygrayponyboy at Glyphic 4.0!

Stoked for the opportunity to be there for @glyphic_la last night. It was great getting to connect with other creative folks and grow my community!

Super thankful for the time with @canvas_cam @staygrayponyboy @staygrayponygirl @longodesigns @fridgelightbakery @henrycreates3 @thecreativepain @hochdotco @fabio94till among others that I’m sure I’m missing!

Thanks again to the whole team who make this event happen! They’re doing something special and I can’t wait to see it continue to grow!

On the most recent Weekly Bolt (104), I mentioned that The Weekly Bolt is one of the more consistent things I do, and it got me thinking about how I want to try and stay more consistent in others areas too, like with my drawing and design stuff. It goes in waves, but I pretty much always want to do more!

So planning to play around more and not worry about everything being too polished, but just trying to do more and have some fun with it!

One of the things I’ve been wanting to play with is using scribbles or random shapes as a starting point, which I’ve been seeing around a bit lately and love the concept! So that’s how I started things off here. It’s weird, I know, and I’m not saying it’s my favorite thing I’ve ever done, but I am looking forward to seeing how this could lead to things I wouldn’t expect.

I’m not necessarily committing to doing daily stuff, but planning to do more and we’ll see how things go!

It was fun to put a name to the artwork that I knew and loved, but had never actually dug into enough. @drewbrophy‘s work is so fun and detailed and he is just insanely talented.

Thanks to @boredandthirstyclub for helping me to rediscover an amazing artist through what you’re doing! Really fun to be able to support the art community through something as basic as drinking water.

Also…I actually had to grab 2 of these…one to drink and one to throw on my shelf for my collection!

Go check them out!

Forrest asked me to draw with him the other day and he was cooking up some super fun stuff, so got me all inspired too, and this was one of my fun little things that came out of my drawing time, that I had to redraw in Fresco.

Honestly, going to have to do another little collab with Forrest soon because he is coming up with some super fun ideas lately!

Episode 97 || Maker’s Market, Notebooks, Drawing…lots happening!

I have been jumping between a lot of different things recently and it’s been cool to see things moving forward in a way that I’ve wanted to for a while. It can sometimes be hard to make things happen the way I hope, but I’ve been trying to be more intentional with some of those things lately and it’s fun to see some of that paying off in a cool way.

There’s a big mix of what I’ve been working through, some of it’s creating new artwork, some is just organizing stuff that already exists to prep for new products and whatnot, and then there are different skills I’m honing…let’s just say this weekend I did a lot of sewing (*hint hint*), which is something I always enjoy improving at, and love to work hands on with stuff when I can!

But if you’re around for the Maker’s Market, come say hi and check things out, or else keep an eye out and I’ll definitely be sharing new stuff soon!!

I am honored to be a part of what @shopdenik is doing through this giveaway. The whole reasoning behind the giveaway is to support artists in the creative pursuits and I super admire the fact that they are just pouring into the art community like that.

Honestly, it would have been cool even if they chose to support 1 person, but they decided to include 50 different people, which is amazing. @shopdenik always seems to have something cool in the works, and it’s awesome to see how they are always partnering with artists along the way.

So thanks again, and can’t wait to get moving along on some ideas that have been brewing in the background while I finished up my Inktober challenge!

WEEKLY BOLT ⚡️🏹
Episode 95 || Stinktober + SOTBGC Final Week!

Working through the prompts this month has been awesome! There is some super fun stuff that has come out of that exploration and I am thankful to @chrispiascik and @the.moon.ghoul for the inspiration through their lists.

And whether I followed the prompt perfectly or not is not my goal, but I’ve enjoyed using it as a way to get some spark of an idea. Sometimes it’s pretty straightforward, but some of my favorites have been some weird place that things went along the way haha.

Go give them a follow and you can always jump in on a few drawings for the last few days coming up! 😉

This one is actually based on a little character I worked up a few years back, but never ended up sharing anywhere. Figured it was a perfect time to dig back in!

Stinktober - “Local Legend”

BOOT BANDIT!

Ok, story time…

Back in 2020-2021 there was a dog roaming in the mountains where I live. It lived around the neighborhood and in the forest and was very mysterious. After a little while, winter came around and people started noticing a boot going missing here and there. Eventually everyone realized the dog was stealing boots off people’s porches. He became nicknamed the “Boot Bandit” and is an actual local legend in my town!

One day, maybe we’ll uncover a whole stash of boots buried somewhere and uncover the mystery of the missing boots!

So I figured I of course had to pay homage to the Boot Bandit for today’s prompt! This one goes out to @jebbysbirds, who has been working to get me to do some Boot Bandit art!

Also…aside from snatching boots, the Boot Bandit would also accompany me on my morning run most mornings and just follow me around for miles and miles, just about every day during that season!
