So there I was saying I was gonna do more stuff and then whoops I went and got COVID. Now I'm feeling good enough to brain again, but I'm trying to take it easy. While putting my feet up I finally finished a draft of this thing I started a while ago, which turned out to be a texture made out of rainbow D20s. Might toy with the spacing before it's final but then I'm gonna make it into phone/desktop wallpaper. Lemme know what you think!

Hi All! Just so you know, this page is still very much a thing. What happened between my first posts and now has been... a lot. I now have a day job as Communications Coordinator for Haa Tóoch Lichéesh Coalition, a nonprofit violence prevention group here in Juneau. Also there has been some personal and family stuff that has been taking up a lot of my free time recently, which anyone who follows my personal page will likely know already.

Consequently I pretty much missed Pride Month this year, so I didn't get a chance to remind folks about my fun rainbow phoenix shirt and also it took me a long time to finish a new set of logos for my nonbinary pals which feature handy nametags so you don't have to correct people quite so much. Check them all out at my TeePublic shop: https://www.teepublic.com/user/atcat-design

Also I finally have an Instagram despite my resistance to being on two Meta platforms, because if you tell people you are a designer they generally ask for your Insta. I'm probably going to give up on the blog on my site and mostly post new stuff there and maybe on a Tumblr as well, we'll see. Please give me a follow here if you'd like: https://www.instagram.com/atcat.design/

So if we'd talked about collaborating on any kind of project, please know I'm still alive and hoping to get back into a groove here soon to start working on my own stuff again on the regular. Thanks for your patience!

Hi All! I plan to do a proper blog post later, but I thought I'd take a minute to share this design that I recently did for the local Juneau LGBTQIA+ Pride celebration coming up in June. My logo wasn't selected, but enough friends seemed to like it that I modified it a bit and created a TeePublic shop in case anyone wants to have it as a shirt, sticker, or mug, etc. I enjoyed making it, and I hope you like it as well. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/29224571-love-will-rise-above-pride-phoenix

So in typical me-fashion, I said I was going to keep updating this page and then I promptly fell off the planet. What happened? The short version is I badly needed a break, but now I am back and ready to keep making weird stuff for you.

For example, I have really been having fun learning more about Illustrator for iPad. For more on that, read here: https://atcatdesign.wordpress.com/2022/04/01/update-so-where-have-i-been/ Also keep watching this space for some branding/logo stuff coming soon!

Hey ho! Thanks to everyone who has liked this page so far. It's going to be my goal to post something I create here once a week, and to maybe share some cool art and design things I find that I think folks might like.

To start things off, here are two pieces I did as inner covers for my student portfolio to show off my leave-behind art cards while working in a little bit of my personality. If you want to read more about these, visit my blog at http://atcatdesign.wordpress.com
