SO COOL!! I met this kid @drewrende at comic con this year. He and his dad came to visit the booth and I found out he is an up and coming artist!! I always want to encourage artists to keep at it and to keep drawing. I asked Drew if he’d mind drawing one of the characters from my comic book. He knocked this out of the park and even included some goodies! Gonna frame this man, and the envelope!! THANK YOU DREW!!! Keep drawing and I hope to visit your booth someday! #manifestfuturecomic #derekwk #fanart #manifestfuturefanart #drawing @denvercomiccon #denver #denverartist

As a designer/creative I get interesting feedback all the time. I decided to take some of this amazing client advice and turn it into inspirational posters. These are taken directly from emails! Making lemonade today. Thanks @dylan_fowler for that last one. #design #inspirationalquotes #shitclientssay #thinkaboutit #adobe#

Everyday is International Women’s Day. Here’s one in particular that means a lot to me. #internationalwomensday
