I had a blast talking shop with digital illustration students at the FutureReady Teens program from MCAD Continuing Ed this weekend — big thanks to John Barlow for inviting me as a guest speaker!

I shared how experimenting with traditional media and printmaking has changed my approach to digital illustration. For example, this silkscreen-inspired illustration for the Star Tribune was created using just blue, pink, and yellow — my brain loves constraints, deadlines, and limited palettes!

It just takes a second to turn on "Prevent third-party sharing" for AI training:

On Desktop: "Blog Settings" then scroll almost all the way down

On Mobile: Click the Settings gear icon, scroll down to "Visibility"

Repeat for each main or secondary blog

No thoughts, just halftones 😵‍💫

Finally feeling like winter now that there’s snow again

I always get really impatient while sketching out ideas, my brain just wants to skip ahead to playing with shapes and colors 🙃
