I find myself engaging in all sorts of creative endeavors. Some happen quite randomly while others are self imposed. I like finding ways to keep myself thinking creatively and I love being part of a larger creative community. Thanks for looking!
They Draw
Back in 2009 my brother Nate Padavick and I created two online illustration communities called They Draw & Cook and They Draw & Travel. In 2021 we merged the two sites. Our site is now one big creative playground known as They Draw.
Society6 Shop
My shop on Society6 features a collection of dandelion puffs, big polka dots, springtime flowers, and cosmic comets. Below are just a few of the items in my shop. Everything prints nicely (I’ve purchased many of the products so far).
Stay Colorfully Creative - 100 Days
Starting January 1, 2019 I challenged myself to Stay Colorfully Creative for 100 days straight. At the start I wasn’t exactly sure what this would mean but I knew it would help get me through the cold, short, gray days of winter in Ohio. Here are just a few of the images I created. I ended up working in sets of 9, changing my color palette with each set. It completely transformed the look of my IG feed! You can see them all here on Pinterest too. Many of the images are currently available for purchase or license.

Myself and three other illustrators were hired to create chapter headings and lots and lots of food illustrations for Foodimentary , a cookbook celebrating 365 food holidays by John-Bryan Hopkins. Published by Wellfleet Press.
