There are very few things I miss about living in the city but I do miss 📸my giant, urban dinosaurs.

🎉 NEW BLOG POST: In this detailed tutorial, with videos, learn how to create fun contour line maps with non-destructive filters and adjustments in Affinity Photo. Find a link to the post in my bio and in my Stories!

🎉 The next effect in the Editable Text Effects in Affinity series is up on my YouTube channel! In this one, you'll learn how to make a wood burn effect. Because it's editable, you can swap out the text, the font, and the texture and create multiple designs from one. You can also use this process on vector illustrations, not just text! Find the link in my Stories, and in my bio!

🎉 New YouTube tutorial is live! The first in a series about editable text effects in Affinity Designer. In this one, learn how to make a paper cut effect that allows you to not only change the font, and what it says, but also quickly and easily swap out the texture used! Find the link in my bio, and right now, in my Story. Happy Creating!

Excited to announce that my new @skillshare class is live! Learn how to create beautiful, textured vector florals in Affinity Designer V2! Plus, now, through Oct 15, 2023 at 11:59 CST I am running a giveaway when you take the class, share a review and leave a project. The amazing folks at @affinitybyserif have graciously provided two universal licenses to give away and I am throwing in a $25 gift card to both Retro Supply Co and True Grit Texture Supply. Two random winners will be drawn at the end of the contest and they will each receive all three prizes! Swipe for more details and find a link to the class and intro in my bio! See you there!

The other day, I received a lovely package in the mail from Canada. (I knew what was inside was beautiful but, quite literally, the packaging was lovely, which is no easy feat when shipping art.) The moment this piece was posted by Alanna, I knew exactly where I would put it on my wall. Fast forward, it’s framed and hung up in that spot and I am so grateful to @alannacartierillustration for sharing her talent, and love of painting beautiful, every day subjects, with the world. I love that I can take a pause, look up from my desk, and calm my mind. Thank you Alanna, for putting your work out in to the world. 🧡

Just a couple of flowers to wish everyone a happy weekend! .

Oh be still my nerd heart… many thanks to Angèle for leaving such an amazing review. I can’t begin to explain how much reviews (and taking the classes and sharing the projects) can truly make a day brighter! Thank you to every student who has done one or more on that list! Now, if you’ll excuse me… I have to get back to finishing my new class with a big old squishy, warm heart and a renewed sense of determination. Head to my profile for a peek at what’s next and to sign up to be notified when it’s released!

My next class is coming out this coming week but, in the mean time, check out my husband, Joe’s (@smiggyink) latest @skillshare class, all about creating your own visual prompts using intuitive scribbles! It’s a process Joe has been using for over 20 years for his own painting and he put together three different exercises to share the process with you. Find the link in my bio !

NEW TUTORIAL 🎉 Now up on my YouTube Channel. Learn two ways to power duplicate a shape around a set point in Affinity Designer. Making vector floral assets? This is a quick and easy way to do it. Find the link in my bio!

Many thanks to Peg, a student from “Surface Pattern Design: Efficiency Hacks in Affinity Designer & Photo” for the amazing review (thank you as well for the Academy Award… my family has been saying I should get one since I was a baby😉) Many thanks to everyone who has taken the class so far and extra thanks for those who have left reviews! They help me know what you like about the classes and where I can improve. Want to check out the class? Find the link in my bio!

NEW TUTORIAL! Based on a question from a member in my Creator Collage community, in this tutorial, I show you how to use the new Vector Flood Fill in Affinity Designer, to create a perfectly symmetrical Yin-Yang symbol. It’s a super quick tutorial but will give you the basics you need to create shapes out of a series of strokes. Find a link to the tutorial in my bio!
