NEW SERIES! I worked with Astute Graphics to create new videos that showcase the plugins in a pattern design workflow. Here's video 1 of 5, let me know what you think!

Mark your calendar for June 2nd for a free webinar on Graphic Styles in Adobe Illustrator! CreativePro will be replaying one of my earlier conference sessions, and I'll be there to answer your questions. Hope to see you there! Sign up here: https://creativeproweek.com/free-webi...

White Lines in Illustrator Patterns? Fix Them + Free Checklist

Even perfectly aligned patterns can show lines in Illustrator. In this video, I walk through the 3 most common causes and how to fix each one:

• Anti-aliasing bug
• Transparency overlap
• Decimal pixel dimensions

I also put together a one-page checklist you can download and keep nearby while you work. Download it from the link below the video. Enjoy!

My latest video for Astute Graphics shows you a one-click way to group your artwork by setting a distance tolerance. Objects that are close together or share the same color, stroke, and fill can be grouped easily.

First new content of the year drops this Thursday. In February I've been invited to share more about Calligraphic Brushes with a live Zoom recording with my friend ‪@LauraCoyle‬ I'll eventually turn that content into a new video recording and it will become the next giveaway for 2026. A Xencelabs Tablet. (Everything shown in this image) That will land sometime in March. No cost to subscribe, and you'll be notified when new content arrives. Thanks!

If you're a subscriber to Astute Graphics, check this out! I had so much fun making this video, Roulette makes it easy to create gorgeously complex curves.

Here are the results of my YouTube poll, combined with my newsletter poll. I'm glad some people are enjoying last year's splashy new feature, "Objects on Path," but many respondents seem to have forgotten it was there... What do you think?
