New Poster Design

I had a wonderful time designing this poster for a monthly Game Night at my church. It was thrilling to push my design sensibilities.

I Believe in…

This is adapted from The Church of Jesus Christ's 13th article of Faith into a more personal statement of my ideals and what I strive for. I love all that it says. It is a statement of belief that encapsulates so much.

It is also an example of me stretching myself into new areas. I have never attempted a design like this before.   

Summer Sketching-Hill Cumorah Pageant

While on our trip we saw The Hill Cumorah Pageant in Palmyra, NY. It depicts Stories from the Book of Mormon and how Joseph Smith found the Golden Plates on the Hill. It was a fun evening with the family. Aside from a wonderful play we discovered the joys of salt potatoes. This is a sketch I did of a group of performers in costume talking with some of the audience before the show started.

Summer Sketching-Peter Whitmer Farm

This summer our family took a drive across most of the US to visit family (which is why I haven't posted in a while). Along the way we visited many of our churches historical sites. This is a sketch of the Peter Whitmer home. It is a recreation of what the original looked like and is where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was first organized on April 6, 1830. Fifty people were in attendance.

I was impressed by the small size of the home and how big our church has become. It was rather humbling to be there.

Sketching–Joseph Smith Memorial

While I was at boys camp a few weeks ago, I took the opportunity to visit the birth place of Joseph Smith and do a sketch of the memorial. It is a beautiful location in Sharon, Vermont-very peaceful.
