You all see Illustrator added export options for AI, EPS, and even WebP? Making things easier on me when exporting client files. Except WebP—we have a love/hate thing going on right now.

Alright I’m up and ready to stream but OBS is not playing nice. Let’s all just sleep in some more and call the weekend a wash. Putting on my tech hat and fixing things today it seems.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Trying to get back to normal in November. Got a bunch of greeting cards coming out soon, dying to play with new Adobe features, but need a rain check on stream today as we have a breakfast date with some friends to plan wedding stuff.

Wrapped up these Venice Grand Canal bridge graphics I had been working on. All vector in Illustrator—up in my website store as 12x18 and 24x36 if anyone would like a print.

Taking another Saturday off from streaming, sorry all. A bit under the weather, have a wedding today, and my coffee pot broke. Also still working on this bridge 🙃 been one of those weeks. Here are the ladies and some memory quilt progress though!

Hate to cancel stream again this morning, but I’ve been up every hour all night long with a sick pup so I’m basically a zombie right now. Will be back to streaming tomorrow! Probably too many treats 🤢

No stream Saturday. It's a photo shoot weekend and I have some setup to do. Will probably be back streaming on Sunday. In the meantime, here's what we made last week LOL.

Back to college with the kids so no stream this weekend! Move-in day is always fun. In the meantime, remember that dreamy, hot air balloon or farmhouse scene from the eye doctor’s office? The one with the surprise, not-so-happy ending? Now you can own it. www.mattgyver.com/store/lentic...

Quick follow up, no stream this weekend Sat or Sun because family is in from out of town for an engagement party. I'll be cleaning and otherwise being a responsible host. :D Enjoy the weekend and please sleep in! I don't have a dog pic to share, but here's a Quetzalcoatlus instead.

Posted a new tutorial. www.mattgyver.com/tutorials/20... I have an entire bucket of these simpler tuts that I’ve never bothered writing until now, out of sheer indignation over the countless "design influencer" excessively overacted facecam pantomime cringe videos that keep crossing my feed.

Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend! No stream Saturday and Sunday; we've been doing vacation-y things like staying out way too late and sleeping in :D Here are a few pics from last night where we had a really great rooftop view:
