This Oh-So-Colorful Artist Will Make You Want to Paint On the Daily

Another week, another maker we’re completely in love with This time, we’re pumped to introduce you to our newest bestie on the maker block, Courtney Pilgrim, the brilliant beauty behind My Friend Court. Courtney flew our way from Atlanta, Georgia to show us how she does what she does in our brand new online class, Intro to Acrylic Painting.

In Courtney’s class, you’ll learn how to set up your palette, blend colors, apply base colors, and use different painting techniques to build depth and texture to your artwork. Not only will you have a unique abstract painting, but you’ll have the skills to create many more. Learn more about the class right here. For now, it’s all about Courtney, what inspires her, how she got to where she is today.

After a slightly extended stay (she describes herself as a free spirit in college, finally figuring out her plan by year 5) at Georgia State University, Courtney got a gig as a full-time art teacher at an elementary school. At first, she was unsure if this was the right path, but after just a few weeks sharing the world of creativity with a bunch of rowdy kiddos, she realized that teaching came naturally to her. After about two years, Courtney decided to give herself an after school project. Her work was taking over her life, and though she was being creative all the time, she still didn’t have an outlet for creating her own work. So, she created My Friend Court, a blog dedicated to her own creative journey and one that’s meant to inspire others to find their creative confidence.

Read on for more about the why, the what and the how, straight from our friend Court ;)

What inspires you? Why do you love to design, create and make?

The world and all its natural beauty, color, patterns and textures are what I am most drawn to. I wouldn’t say that I am super outdoorsy but I grew up in the woods and my grandmother and grandfather always had their own garden and grew their own food. So, nature is something that I always retreat to when I am feeling lost. Even if it is a walk on a nature trail in the city, it helps me recharge and gain new perspective.

I have always been a color chaser, even having the nickname Skittles in high school. I love art and fashion and combine the two however and whenever I can. I draw a lot of inspiration from fashion and fabrics in my work. And most recently have gotten into surface design and turning my painting and patterns into repeating patterns that become fabric or stationery. Seeing my paintings become actual things like bags, dresses, hair ties, scarfs, cell phone covers and more, and then seeing people I don’t even know tag me on Instagram, buying + rocking + loving my prints is an awesome feeling and accomplishment and inspiration enough to keep on creating. And I have been creating more these past 8 months than I have in the past 5 years and it’s GREAT!

What’s one piece of advice you’d share with other makers?

Shake the demons. Stop listening to the voice of doubt you have about your ideas or what you want to do with your life and career. I would hate to grow old and regret not putting myself out there more, or putting my work out there more because I was worried about what others may think.

Who cares what “they” think. Those other people that you’re worried about don’t pay your bills and aren’t in charge of your happiness. YOU are. So figure out just what you want to do and what makes you happy and pursue it with all your might! Make a plan, set goals and get to work!

The quote that has inspired me most in my creative journey is by Maya Angelou: “You find your path by walking it.”

My idea of “what I want to be when I grow up” or what “type” of artist or blogger I strive to be has changed so much throughout the years and will continue to change as I grow and keep walking my path. That’s completely normal.

I think it is always wise to learn and study from those who have gone before you, so do your research but never become obsessed with someone else’s creative journey. Stay focused on your path, and just apply what you can to your life/career/ideas from others who may be similar to you.

In the days of social media and where EVERYONE has a blog, it is easy to be influenced by others, or feel competition with others, but that’s not how it should be at all. There is room for everyone to “make” their own way — so don’t be afraid to pursue yours.

Tell us how technology has changed and supported what you do.

I seriously don’t know where I would be without it. It has truly been a gift to me in my creative journey and career path. Social media has been the biggest game changer for me and opened me up to so many new ideas and projects, some that forced me how to learn to make technology work for me and my business.

I love making mini paintings or drawings and scanning them into Illustrator. Then manipulating them with my Wacom tablet and pen. This is how I have been turning my art into products, and it is something I never imagined myself learning to do, but like I said I love it and it has taken me in a whole new direction!

What’s on your studio playlist?

On Spotify I have a playlist I created called “Girl, you got this!: and it is filled with kickass girl power songs. I love to blare the music and dance with my dogs while I’m painting. It definitely gets me in the zone!

How do you get into the creative flow? How does it feel?

For me, it’s really hard to push my creativity if I’m just not feeling it. And when it’s your job to be creative EVERY day of your life, some days you just hit a wall. In fact, some days that wall shows up on a deadline day or something. These days are fueled by lots of coffee and music. And I will usually start out in my art journal just playing around with my supplies. After I have filled up a few pages I can usually find my groove, and get that creative flow to do the work.

Once I start working on something, I am a marathon worker. I can sit and work on a painting for 8 hours breaking only to eat, drink and use the restroom. I definitely get consumed by my work and ideas and can’t shake them, until I see them come into fruition. During my summer vacays I can stay up all night long working and creating, because for whatever reason that is when I always seem to be the most alive and have my creative sparks.

What do you love about teaching people to make? And inspiring people who don’t think they are traditionally creative?

I love teaching art and encouraging others to be more creative because it usually sparks something in them that they didn’t realize they had. Especially with adults. We get so wrapped up in the day to day and stop using our imaginations we forget how to use them, and then feel awkward and silly when were asked to.

Most people, once they open up to the process of art making for the experience and not the result or product, they realize how much fun they are having and don’t even care if it comes out super beautiful or not. But you’ll be surprised at what you can create when you just stop thinking so much and just let yourself get truly creative.

Be sure to enroll in Courtney’s Intro to Acrylic Painting to test your own creative boundaries. And be sure to follow @myfriendcourt on Instagram for monthly art challenges, behind-the-scenes inspo and more.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are currently filming the upcomingA24 film, The Drama, and it's a pair I didn't know I needed! I'm so pumped to see the two of them front and center in the new movie, and not just because the Massachusetts location is giving MAJOR New England autumn vibes. The actors have been spotted walking around the city, hanging out outside an art museum, and even getting into a road rage altercation? Yeah, that definitely sounds like drama to me.

Keep reading for every little detail you need to know about Robert Pattinson and Zendaya's new A24 movie The Drama.

What movie is Robert Pattinson and Zendaya in together?

The Drama Plot

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson's The Drama comes from the mind of Kristoffer Borgli, who most recently directed Dream Scenario starring Nicholas Cage. Borgli is slated to work alongside Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen’s production company Square Peg for the film, so I'm sure it'll be just as thought-provoking and thrilling as some of the other projects they’ve produced (Midsommar, Beau is Afraid, Death of a Unicorn).

Given Zendaya and Pattinson’s respective star power, I know this upcoming A24 project is going to be absolutely stunning. Even though we don't have any specific plot details yet, Deadline reported that The Drama tells the story of a couple whose romance takes a (you guessed it) dramatic turn right before their “big day.” Tell me more!!

One thing we do know is that a scene will apparently feature Zendaya's character getting into an altercation with a car while on a walk. The actress went viral for throwing a drink at a passing car, and she's so convincing, one TikTok user said "help i thought this was real for a second i was like omg what is going on."

Who else is in The Drama movie cast?

The Drama Cast

In addition to Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, we'll see Mamoudou Athie and Alana Haim. Stay tuned for more cast updates.

What else has Zendaya been up to?

Zendaya currently boasts two Emmys from her work in HBO’sEuphoria and has only continued to exhibit her talents in recent feature titles like Dune: Part Two and Challengers. Plus she's finally reuniting with BF Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4and Christopher Nolan's brand new film. Busy gal!

What about Rob?

Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images for CinemaCon

Of course, we all know and love Pattinson for his role as Edward in the Twilight movies, but he’s positioned himself as a truly versatile actor with roles in 2022’s The Batman and Bong Joon Ho’s upcoming sci-fi film, Mickey 17.

Mike Coppola / Getty Images, Francois Durand / Getty Images

The two stars are still in early talks about starring in the film, but Deadline has confirmed that The Drama is a “top priority” at A24 given the success with 2023’s Dream Scenario. And, like, DUH!

Mom entrepreneur Diane Le designed a blanket/backpack combo with her family hikes and picnics in mind, but after testing the concept, she found it had broader appeal. Not sure where to start the manufacturing process, she asked for help. Thanks to our partnership with Office Depot OfficeMax, we are sharing Diane's founder story and how she learned through Selfmade that networking gets you everywhere.


B + C: What motivated you to start MiniAlps? What problem are you trying to solve for your customers?

DL: For me, it was a product I really wanted for my own personal use and it just didn't exist. I love spending time outdoors with my family but outdoor blankets are so bulky to carry. I remember going on a day hike with my husband and daughter and I had to carry a backpack on my back with our water, food, diapers, sunscreen and supplies and then I had to carry our picnic blanket on the front and hold my dog's leash all while hiking. It was just too much.

I thought "Why can't an outdoor blanket actually be a carrying bag and it can do double duty by carrying my things as well?" That's when MiniAlps was born.

B + C: How has the company evolved since your initial "aha" moment?

DL: Originally, we were only focusing on moms who really liked multitasking products but after testing the concept, we actually found out that late teens and 20-somethings really loved the idea of a stylish blanket/backpack duo. It was perfect for picnic outdoors, wineries, music festivals or just being on the go.


B + C: What startup challenges have you faced along the way?

DL: We've had two really big challenges. First, neither Sharlene Bisram (my co-founder) nor I had ever launched an apparel or outdoor product, so there was a really big learning curve for us in terms of fabrics and performance. We bought so many fabric samples just to make sure we had the right materials. The second was manufacturing. Manufacturing during COVID times has been tricky. We aren't able to travel to meet manufacturers in person, production times are much longer than normal, and shipping times are very delayed.

B + C: What strategies helped you overcome them?

DL: Networking and asking for help has been the best strategy for us. Whenever we run into a challenge, we've reached out to our networks to just ask "Does anyone know someone who knows XYZ?" and we've met many amazing people that way. I think there was a session in Selfmade that talked about that exactly - that being able to network effectively was one of the best ways to grow a business. I'm a big proponent in paying it forward as well. If there's some help someone is looking for, I'm happy to share any information or potential leads with them.

B + C: What would you say are your top successes so far?

DL: Designing a product I'm really happy with is probably my favorite success so far. We've gone through seven different iterations before landing where we are and I'm pretty proud of what we've created. Our bag is everything we wanted it to be: stylish, minimalist, modern, and incredibly practical.

B + C: How have you approached marketing your brand and raising awareness?

DL: We're a startup so we have very limited marketing funds. It's been a fun challenge to figure out how to build our brand on almost no budget. We use Canva for a lot of our branding materials. For awareness, we are active with promoting to our local community and utilizing social media and social ads to drive traffic to our target market.

B + C: What was your most valuable takeaway from Selfmade?

DL: It really does start with mindset. When we had the first course about mindset, I was really confused on why we weren't focusing on more "business" type things first. But as I started building my business, I realized how important it is to be in a positive, winning frame of mind before anything else. It helps you weather all of the ups and downs of startup life.

B + C: Who and what inspires you?

DL: I have so many people in my life that I admire, it's hard to narrow it down! My daughter Camille was born with a rare disease and disability and she inspires me to beat the odds everyday. I also have to shout out to my mentor Sarah Grover, who is just a brilliant marketing and branding guru and Nurit Raich, who has been my incredible coach through a lot of life's challenges. It truly takes a village.

B + C: What's one piece of advice you would give to female entrepreneurs on the brink of starting?

DL: Just get started! Don't let the fear of failure stop you before you even get started.

B + C: What's next for MiniAlps?

DL: We're opening up for pre-orders on our first production run very shortly! Sign up for more information at minialps.com.

B + C: What has receiving the Office Depot OfficeMax scholarship to Selfmade done to help you grow your business?

DL: It has been so helpful to have the support of Office Depot OfficeMax scholarship! It was only through the scholarship I was able to access all of Selfmade's amazing resources, from the networking to the coaches to the sessions, it's been a combination of motivating, inspiring, and supportive. I couldn't imagine launching MiniAlps without Selfmade.

B + C: How have Office Depot OfficeMax services/products helped you accomplish more in your business?

DL: It's honestly not possible to start a business without the right tools and Office Depot OfficeMax has been my go-to source. Their printing services in particular are fantastic; it's high quality, affordable, and a quick turnaround.

Thank you Diane for sharing your story! You can follow MiniAlps at minialps.com and on Facebook.

If you grew up on fantasy books, you’ve probably dreamed of taking classes at Hogwarts and escaping to Narnia more times than you can count. But for the niche group of The Magic Faraway Tree readers who wish they could visit the Land of Birthdays in real life, living out your fantasies isn’t such a faraway concept anymore — Enid Blyton’s classic British children’s series is officially being adapted for the big screen!

The Magic Faraway Tree is an upcoming family adventure film about three children who climb a magical tree, meet the wonderful creatures who live inside, and travel to fantastical lands. It’s the kind of movie that will give you alllll the nostalgic feels even if you didn’t grow up on the books (though its absolutely stacked cast probably did!). The film is currently in production, with principal photography having started in June.

Here’s everything we know so far about The Magic Faraway Tree movie.

Your First Look At Nicola Coughlan In 'The Magic Faraway Tree'

Parisa Taghizadeh/Courtesy of Neal Street Productions and Elysian Film Group

Nicola Coughlan is in her fairy era, and this first look at Nicola as Silky in The Magic Faraway Tree is just as, well, magical as I hoped. Just a glimpse of her long blonde hair and those stunning eyes pique my curiosity. And TBH, where Nicola leads, I follow.

What is the main plot of The Magic Faraway Tree?

Amazon

The Magic Faraway Tree Plot

When the Thompson family moves to the English countryside, the three children — Joe, Beth, and Frannie — “discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents, including treasured characters Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot, and Saucepan Man," according to Variety. When they reach the top of the tree, the children "are transported to spectacular and fantastical lands and, through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learns to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years.”

When is the Magic Faraway Tree coming out?

The Magic Faraway Tree Release Date

The Magic Faraway Tree is currently filming, which means we could see it in the fall or winter of 2025. This would be the perfect movie for the holiday season!

​Who is starring in the movie?

The Magic Faraway Tree Cast

Joe, Beth, and Frannie’s actors have yet to be announced, but the adult cast is chock-full of familiar names. Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy are set to play the children’s parents, Tim and Polly. (The film’s screenwriter cheekily said, “I mean, even Enid Blyton might be impressed we got Spider-Man and the Queen.”) Nicola Coughlan will be playing a woodland fairy named Silky, and Rebecca Ferguson will be playing one of the film’s villains, Dame Snap.

Nonso Anozie, Jessica Gunning, Jennifer Saunders, and Dustin Demri-Burns are also in the cast.

Who is writing and directing the movie?

Joe Maher/Getty Images

Fans of the Faraway Tree series can breathe a sigh of relief — the film is in great hands. The Magic Faraway Tree’s screenwriter, Simon Fanaby, is no stranger to adapting beloved British children’s classics from page to screen. He’s one of the pens behind Wonka and Paddington 2, which is a great sign that The Magic Faraway Tree is sure to be as whimsical and fun as the books it’s adapting.

A less familiar name (unless you’re a fan of BBC’s Black Ops) is Ben Gregor, who has been tapped to direct the film. According to his talent agency, Gregor specializes in making comedies with visual flair. This writer/director combo is magical.

​Will The Magic Faraway Tree be a franchise?

Amazon

The Magic Faraway Tree seems to be a standalone film at the moment. The book series it’s based on is made up of four books total: The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree, The Folk of the Faraway Tree, and Up the Faraway Tree. Although the movie gets its name from the second book, its plot seems more similar to that of the first book. It’s very possible that the movie will incorporate all four books in one since plans for a franchise have yet to be announced.

I may be in my twenties, but I’ll happily be joining elementary schoolers at AMC on opening night when The Magic Faraway Tree hits theaters! Can't get enough of all things fantasy? Check out the latest Wicked movie news.
