Amanda Rockwell
http://www.brushworkshop.com

A professional designer with

ScrapbookGraphics, Amanda Rockwell
creates fantastic content for the
AWAKE and KAIZEN groups. But I
think her greatest contribution is
in encouraging digital artists to
get away from their screens and
break out the art supplies now and
then and actually have fun creat-
ing their own custom brushes.

Anna Aspnes
http://annaaspnesdesigns.com

Again and again in the work of

my top students I was seeing
one name turn up constantly
when they were citing the
source of the artistic content
in their work: Anna Aspnes.
When I visited her website I
was stunned, and when I saw her
work in Somerset Digital Studio
magazine I knew that this was a
talent I needed on my team.

 Caroline Julia Moore
https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CarolineJuliaMoore

Over the past two years, I’ve

watched as the immensely talented
Caroline Julia Moore shifted from
cognitive neuropsychologist to
full-time self-employed artist
and conceptual photographer … all
while also launching a successful
content-design business. Her con-
tributions to the group have been
a delight and an inspiration.

Cheryl Tarrant
http://www.distressedtextures.net

Cheryl Tarrant is the brilliant

creator behind the superb iPhone
app Distressed FX and the im-
mensely popular content design
studio Distressed Textures. In
looking at her artwork, one can’t
but wonder if her images are
paintings or photographs. And her
textures are simply divine.
We’re very lucky to have her
working with us as a designer!

Denise Love
http://2lilowls.com

The textures and backgrounds

from 2 Lil’ Owls are some of
the nest in the digital art
industry, and indeed many of
the works in this magazine fea-
ture Denise’s textures — often
several in one piece. Without
question the photo-artistic
community is so much the richer
for the love and care Denise
brings to her designs.

Foxeysquirrel
http://www.foxeysquirrel.com

Immensely popular (and stunning-

ly proli c), Foxeysquirrel is
the name by which artist Teddi
Rutschman is known around the
world. Her artistic design kits
bring together a wide range of
styles — from the enchanted and
purely whimsical to classic il-
lustration, from the exquisitely
ornate to elements with touches
of dreamlike old world mastery.

 itKuPiLLi
http://www.mischiefcircus.com/

itKuPiLLi is the rather unusual

name donned by Kirsi Rouvinen,
the celebrated digital artist
from Finland. The itKuPiLLi Ima-
genarium at MischiefCircus.com is
a source for whimsical digital
goodies, and the content Kirsi
creates for our KAIZEN group is
always greeted with excitement
and enthusiasm.

Jai Johnson
http://www.DailyTexture.com

Jai Johnson is a ne artist and

the acclaimed designer behind
“The Daily Texture.” Time and
again when a work of digital
artistry caught my eye, I’d nd
Jai’s name listed in the credits
as the texture designer. It
took some time to get her, but
I’m extremely excited to now
have Jai an active member of our
KAIZEN design team.

Jen Maddocks
http://jenmaddocks.com

When some students introduced

me to the work of Jen Maddocks,
I was quite knocked at. Here
was a digital content creator
who was as fabulous an artist
as she was a designer. We are
lucky to have her in our commu-
nity and MORE than lucky to
have her material and tutorials
here in “AWAKE” and “KAIZEN.”

Jill Catrinel
https://www.etsy.com/shop/JillCatrinel

Jill Catrinel works out of her

art studio just north of Ashe-
ville, making her one of the
few designers here quite close
to me. Her work is fresh and
inspired, and it’s exciting to
look ahead to everything I will
be able to coordinate with her
as the projects in the “KAIZEN”
group evolve over the years
ahead.

 Julie Mead
https://e-scapeandscrap.net

It’s always exciting to see cre-

ative success stories, and Julie
Mead has certainly become one!
She stepped into the digital
content scene not long ago it
seems, but rapidly brought on a
bunch of great designers (and of
course created a wonderful
stream of original content her-
self). We’re lucky to have her
on our team!

Kim Klassen
http://kimklassen.com

Kim Klassen was one of the very

rst truly world-class artists
I had the immense privilege of
working with when I rst
launched the original Photoshop
Artistry course. It was her
textures (and her photography)
that rst caught my attention.
Only later did I realized how
wonderful she is as a teacher
as well.

Michelle Mondragon
https://mdragonart.com/

Recently we've brought on the

talented photographer and
artist Michelle Mondragon as
part of our team (though she
prefers to think of herself as
a "creative"). She has been
providing a steady stream of
extraordinary content for our
AWAKE artists to use in their
compositions. We are beyond
excited to have her with us.

Rebecca McMeen
http://www.rebeccamcmeen.com/

Joining our team just this

year, Rebecca McMeen has proven
a tremendous hit with her ex-
traordinary material, all of it
so rich and complex, whimsical
and artistic. Her unique style
has made for a fantastic addi-
tion to the library of content
our artists are now able to
employ, and the resulting crea-
tions are endlessly charming.

of her own wildly successful
design company with over a
decade spent as dedicated “pur-
veyors of digital art journaling

Everything here got a lot more
exciting with her arrival!
