Lately I've been pushing myself to discover new artists and learn new and different techniques. I'd love to find at least a couple new references a week. So please share your favorite studios, designers and illustrators! @jooleeloren is spread one. Her work is hilarious and totally down to earth. #design #discover #sketchbook #inspiration

Still adding more design/illustration inspiration to my sketchbook. I love having examples and inspiration to reference. This spread is all about Sally Nixon, aka @sallustration (go check her out). Her work is crazy busy and detailed and full of patterns. She turns mundane everyday moments into art and I'm obsessed. Also, super stoked about for her new seek and find book Houseplants & Hot Sauce that comes out on Tuesday! 😆🌿🔥 #designinspiration #sketchbook #design #sallynixon

I'm so in love with KC and everything it has to offer 💙 This weekend was a blast! Explored the crossroads for First Fridays, bought flowers at the River Market, finally experienced Lulu's for dinner (YUM! How had I never been to Lulu's??) while catching up with some great friends, plus I got to see a couple films at the KC Film fest. If that weekend wasn't awesome enough today is opening day at the K for Royals baseball 😄and this week is KC Design Week!!! • • • Anyways with the beautiful weather and blue sky I had to snap a picture and couldn't help making some kind of KC love design to add in that negative space. • • • #kc #graphicdesign #igkc #skyline #love #explore #kcmo #design #openingday #raisedroyal (at Kansas City, Missouri)
