Planning. I use Notion to spreadsheet my class ideas and keep track of where I am at in the process. Each class gets its own page so I can also use it to house all my outlines and scripts. Everything gets written out and planned in advance of the class so I don’t forget anything.

I have loved seeing the reaction to my latest class, “Animated Textures in Procreate,” now up on @skillshare. This was one of my favorite classes to create and it means so much to know that students are enjoying it so much! Many thanks to those who have taken it, to those who have shared your amazing projects and to those who plan to take it! I can’t wait to see what else gets created from what you learn! Find the class, and my entire Skillshare lineup at the link in my bio, under “Explore Latest Post.” New members receive the first month, at no cost, to explore unlimited classes on tons of topics. See you in class!

**WIN A FREE YEAR OF SKILLSHARE** It's contest time! In celebration of releasing my latest class, the first since being named a Top Teacher, I am giving away a free Skillshare membership. Read on for the ways to enter, or swipe left!

**NEW CLASS ALERT!** My latest @skillshare class is live. In, "Animated Texture in Procreate," we will take basic frame by frame animation further and push Procreate's boundaries (quite literally). I'll show you how to take your favorite textures and create animated backgrounds, blend multiple textures seamlessly using masks, and how to approach more complex, multi layered, multi textured animations.

Hey hey it’s my least favorite day! (Of class creation that is) One last video to film… the intro! I won’t lie… I may be a photographer but I hate being on camera (I’m pretty sure many photographers would say the same thing) I feel awkward and nervous and it takes what seems like a million takes before I get it right but… you know what? It does get easier. My first class, I was on camera less than 30 seconds and I looked like I wanted to cry. This one, I might cry, but it will be completely off camera and you will be none the wiser 🫣. @joesmigielski will talk me down and I’ll start right back up again and get this class out!

It's finally cooling down here in Chicagoland! It was in the 40s overnight and it's starting to feel like cozy sweater weather. It's my favorite time of year and I'm looking forward to seeing these lovelies in the next few weeks, as we make our way across my home state of PA (Pennsylvania... but we don't call it that 😉) to visit family. (📸 by me, somewhere in PA)

A little behind the scenes view. Ready for a new class? I don’t make them quickly, but I promise you, I put 💯+ in to all of them. You trust me with your time, and creativity, and I don’t take that lightly. ❤️ The next class is coming to @skillshare in a few days so stay tuned! Not a member? Head to the link in my bio and get your first month at no cost to explore unlimited classes by me and a ton of amazing teachers. See you in class!

Whether you’re using paints, pens, an iPad or any other creative tool, may your weekend be filled with blissful creativity. (Or anything else that makes your heart happy 💕) Happy weekend everyone!

On this day, about five years ago, @joesmigielski and I were walking around the city. I had my camera with me as I was capturing two of my favorites: Chicago architecture and CTA trains. We turned a corner, to head back to the train home and lo and behold: two of my favorites in one shot. A cool and colorful architectural feature and a train. From that day forward, this image became known as, “In Search of Squirrel.” (What you can’t see is the moose is blowing a bubble with gum. 🫧 ) I don’t miss living in the city, but I do miss moments like this one. ❤️

Some people look at the flowers and plants dying off in fall as the end of something beautiful, but I choose to look at it as a beautiful transition in to something else. What were once green and colorful, become camouflage and shelter for birds and other creatures during harsh winters. In some cases, it they even become a source of food. ⁠

I grew up in eastern PA (Pennsylvania) and was lucky to be treated to all four seasons, but fall was always my favorite; my home state puts on a beautiful nature show in Autumn. ⁠

It took me less time to create this illustration than it did this reel. True story. 🙄 (and given magic tools that make illustrations appear on the canvas don’t exist, this wasn’t quick 😉)
