I have this project that’s been in my head for over a year now. In fact, as strange as it sounds, the idea came to me one night just as I was about to fall asleep. Despite dozens of attempts, I just can’t get the final result to look like the image in my head. I’veRead more

Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to attend the Adobe MAX conference. Even though I use Adobe products every day (Illustrator and Photoshop, usually), I knew that there were features in the software that I didn’t know about that would allow me to work faster. *NOTE: Adobe has no idea whoRead more
For months now (maybe even years), I have wanted to open an online shop to sell some of the things that I make. And for exactly that long, I have held back. Recently, I have tried to take some time to figure out why, exactly, I wasn’t doing the thing I so badly wanted toRead more
