Zazzle tote bags featuring my unique, fun seamless patterns

My Zazzle store is now open for business

I’ve spent the entire weekend adding designs to my Zazzle store and it’s finally ready to launch! The whole idea started when I wanted to make a cool gift for my mom, who loves Dia de los Muertos sugar skull art. I created a seamless pattern, thanks to an amazing tutorial from Abbie Nurse, and popped it into Zazzle to add to a tote bag. I wanted to test it out to see if the quality was up to the standard I was hoping for, and when it finally arrived, it was far beyond my expectations.

I was so happy with the way the bag turned out that I decided to open up a Zazzle store and start adding my patterns to other items.

The sugar skull bag is available below, and you can see all the items that feature my sugar skull pattern here.

Brand new Halloween brush pack for Procreate

It’s officially sweaters-and-boots weather here in Denver, which means it’s fall. The pumpkin spice latte is back at Starbucks and everyone’s sharing Hocus Pocus gifs on social media. That means Halloween is just around the corner, so I created this fun brush pack to celebrate.

Powered by Creative Market

The pack comes with three lettering brushes and, my personal favorite, a cute skull seamless pattern brush. It’s perfect for all your Halloween (and Dia de los Muertos) Procreate projects. Check out some examples of the brushes below and pick them up on Etsy or Creative Market.

Paint streak iPad lettering by Alexis Gentry

Paint streak lettering is my new favorite thing

If you’ve checked out my Instagram stories lately, you’ve probably seen some paint streak lettering. Prior to trying it out, I had seen this technique all over my feed from talented letterers like @ipadlettering and @stefankunz, but I had no idea how to do it. Then Myriam, the brilliant letterer behind @halfapx posted a quick tutorial in her Instagram story. I knew I had to try it out, and I completely fell in love with the technique and now all I want to do is make more of these.

Here are a few I’ve done using the streaky texture technique.
