What is Creative JumpStart?
Creative JumpStart is a one-of-a-kind online workshop event to jumpstart your creativity in 2021. This year CJS is celebrating the 10 Year Anniversary with even more lessons, giveaways, webinars, and opportunities for YOU to find artistic inspiration and connection with a community of other creatives! Jump with Us!

The theme this year is “Storyteller”
One of the most delightful and powerful qualities of artwork is its ability to communicate diverse ideas and unique perspectives across different audiences. Artists are storytellers who use creative materials to express emotion, document reality, make imagination tangible, and so much more. 

We asked our crew of Mixed Media Artists and Crafters: 
Tell us your story through artwork! Let your project speak about who you are, what moves you, or let it tell whatever story you want to tell. Share with us how you use creative techniques to convey ideas and show us how your thoughts, feelings, or your story resonates in your artwork.

Join us for this 10th Anniversary Year of CJS and learn how different Mixed Media Artists and Crafters translate our theme into their own work, sharing with you their creative process, techniques, tips, tricks, and ideas on how to develop your own style.
This edition of CJS is BIGGER than ever: you get 45 DOWNLOADABLE video lessons for $59 (USD). It’s a great value – at only $1.31 per video it’s a collection of tutorials that you can keep forever, over 8 hours of unique content! And now through December 31st at 11:59pm EST

Sunset, a Monday Motif


Private Collection 18.1, Exclusively for StencilClub members.

Graffiti Girl


I love street art and graffiti so much; if I weren’t afraid of heights (!) and getting arrested (!) I might venture out onto the streets myself, ha!! Truly though, I can’t wait to share some very loose techniques with you. I firmly believe that my best art is made when I can get my brain to move out of the way and create from a more intuitive place, allowing my hand(s) to move freely.

In these videos, I have chosen to use a geometric theme of triangles. If you don’t resonate with triangles, please pick another geometric figure that resonates with you; perhaps you want to work with circles or squares or hexagons, whatever pleases you is the right thing.

Try to work with the flow of the project without editing yourself. Be messy. Allow the drips to happen and feel free to play. Disengage from the outcome.

Most of all enjoy!!!

Former Art Bundle student testimonials:

What I love about Art Bundle for Good is the diversity of resources that it includes. Whatever your interest, you can find relevant art instruction on Art Bundle for Good. It's also an excellent way to get to sample new instructors, techniques and membership sites. I'm a painter, my husband's a cartoonist. We both find it to be a terrific value.

The classes are wonderful, better than expected really. And what I actually didn’t see coming was the wonderful community that surrounds each of these talented, lovely artists. I have met so many interesting people and learned new things.
