Every month, CreativeMornings works with an artist in our community to create an illustration for our global monthly themes.

For August our featured illustrator was Art Director and Illustrator Shanee Benjamin. Shanee specializes in brand work, and social content for “millennials and Gen Z.”

“A band of colors, expanding definitions, a broad array of identities — we all live within multiple spectrums”

September’s theme is Spectrum! It was chosen by @LasVegas_CM and illustrated by Iandry Randriamandroso. You can learn more about this months theme at the link below 🤩.
