Talitha B Jacobs DeSIGNS

Thank you so much for all of your print order the past 2 days! I will get those shipped out ASAP! I am going to be donating back to to purchase a Hope Box in honor of the recent passing of a former coworker and local artist. Her beautiful soul and amazing talent will continue to shine through all of her mural work around Tulsa.

In December 2019 when Sterling died I told myself I would grieve his death after I got through my close to 30 Christmas Commissions. To be honest, I needed to submerge myself in work, because my brain couldn't handle any more pain after an already draining October (my parents were divorcing and Sterling had attempted su***de). January 2020 came and the Kobe Bryant tragedy occurred. Something I had no connection to, and an athlete I never even really liked. I remember watching that news story and sobbing in my living room. I was grieving for Vanessa who had lost a child and a spouse just like my mom had. I was grieving for her children that had lost their sibling and father, just like I had. It was so wild to me that that tragedy had triggered my grief, but as the years have passed I now know that when I see others grieving, I can't help but grieve with them. God blessed me with a heart for others and it breaks when I see other people in pain physically, emotionally, or mentally. I was totally fine today at work until I got on Facebook during my plan and read something that led me to believe that a former co-worker and fellow female artist had taken her life. We have bumped into each other randomly since working together at Philbrook, and our most recent interaction was at a 5 day new teacher orientation this summer. I told her I had been sending a lot of mural inquiries her way because she's way better at that than I am. She said "We should do a mural together sometime!" 💔 After school the news was confirmed that she is no longer with us. Tonight I grieved for her, for her family, and for all of the people that love her and are hurting. A beautiful soul gone too soon and a wonderful talent no longer here to bless us with her art. Su***de leaves so many people hurting, feeling guilty, confused, and a lot of time angry. Please stay. You are loved. You are here for a reason. We miss you Little Foot.

Thank you for all of your orders today! 🙏❤️ Art in stock is available at the top of my website! Canvas prints, paper prints, and original art are all on SALE! A percentage of sales goes back to su***de prevention, outreach and education. Today we honor the life of my brother who has been gone today for 4 years. A call I'll never forget and a night I never want to relive. Believe it or not, you matter and you are loved. Please stay 💔

Today I'll be working on my website to get everything ready for my annual Christmas SALE tomorrow in honor of my brother! I am marking down a ton of original artwork and will have paper and canvas prints on sale as well. Remember, I also have a lot of Oklahoma themed artwork on display at Bramble Riverwalk Jenks! A proceed of my sales tomorrow will go back to for su***de prevention, outreach, and education. Thank you for your support 🙏

Hello friends! I have a few announcements and updates to share with you!
●My final round of 2023 commissions will be completed by the 22nd of December! Thank you for trusting me with these special gifts. I know you are anxious to see them!
● I will not be taking on any more commissions until possibly Spring 2024. After working pretty much 7 days a week for the past 6.5 years, I am ready to focus on one thing (teaching) instead of allll the things. I can't tell you how grateful I am to those of you who took a side hustle I started in my garage in 2014 (to help pay for daycare) to a full-time job with my own studio space in my home. The people I have met and the memories I have made have truly blessed me and my family. I am still planning on doing some LIVE paintings here and there, Mayfest, summer art camps, and painting some new epic original works. I am excited for some upcoming trips I have planned and for more time to spend pouring into my elementary art students as well as my own family.
●Last but definitely not least, Thursday, December 7th marks 4 years since my younger brother died by su***de. To honor his memory, as well as give back to a local non-profit that has been such a blessing to myself and so many other families affected by su***de, this Thursday a proceed of all online sales will go back to . I will have HUGE markdowns on original artwork, as well as canvas and paper prints available at a discounted rate. Thank you for loving me and loving my artwork. You all have been here through some of the best and worst times of my life. 🫶

Sweet little portrait of Rusty 9x12"

I really love how my live painting from The Museum Broken Arrow Gala turned out! Thank you for your continued support. Thank you for having me again this year! I'll have print options available soon!

New canvas prints are up at Bramble Jenks Riverwalk! The Praying Hands and Scissortail have been discontinued so these are the last two copies available! Pictures don't do this new original justice, but it measures 24x36". Go check it out in person, enjoy some amazing food, and check a few gifts off your list!

Thank you Eric from for purchasing an original art piece today! Traffic was definitely slower than last year, but I enjoyed the beautiful fall day outside ❤️

Ill be in front of Anthropologie in Utica Square until 5pm! Come out and see me! Origal art, paper and canvas prints and a few ornaments!

We completed our first detailed mixed media project of my Elementary Art teaching career today with flying colors. 🙌 I woke up at 4:15am and recalculated how we were going to approach our kiwi still lifes. A lot of logistics and planning go into multiple step projects with younger students (7-10)yrs. I am so proud of how well they did...and just look at how clean they kept those watercolor paint sets!!...allllll...dayyy...long 👏

I can't turn down kids who ask to help me paint ❤️

Today was another beautiful and heartbreaking day painting in honor of my brother at the Su***de Prevention Walk. The stories we share amongst ourselves are devastating and beautiful all at once. I recently tried to watch "Painkiller" on Netflix and I got through two episodes. It left me so angry that Big Pharma has made billions of dollars at the expense of so many lives lost...so many families left broken. I honestly don't know how these people sleep at night. Im not looking for anyone or anything to blame for the death of my brother, but I believe that painkiller addiction led to he**in addiction, and he**in addiction only ends in 3 ways. Overdose, su***de, or very rarely you get clean and stay clean. Every su***de story is different, but the questions and guilt it leaves us all with are very similar. When I looked at this painting after finishing it, something unplanned that I saw were two arms uplifted to the sky praising our Creator, and two arms asking "why?" A question I know will never be answered this side of Earth. 💔 Today I painted in honor of Sterling Charles Reddington Gregg. 10/20/1987-12/7/2019

This week we have been learning more shading techniques and drawing from observation! Our district chooses student artwork to include with the nutrition menu they send out every month and they also display it on the district wide website. Our school was appointed kiwi 🥝 It’s going to be very hard to choose just 1 🥺

This is a friendly reminder that 2023 Christmas commission orders close this Saturday, September 30th! I only have a few spots left to fill and won't be opening up commissions again until Spring 2024. I will see you this Saturday at the Riverwalk Jenks for the Su***de Prevention Walk and at Utica Square the following Saturday, October 7th for Art in the Square. Thanks for sticking around while I take on life one day at a time 🫶

This is a "club" you never want to be a part of, but you're so thankful for at the same time. Thank you Hope is Oxygen, American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, and everyone else who pour into this event. Please keep us in your prayers this week as it is such an emotional day for everyone involved. If I'm being truly honest, I try to avoid thinking about my brother's death because it is still just too painful. I just keep looking for dragon flies (which I see very often these days) and trust that I will see him again someday in heaven. 🫶 We miss you so much Little Foot Sterling Gregg

KRMG In-Depth: Walk Out of Darkness slated for Saturday at Jenks River Walk The annual event dedicated to awareness, prevention, and survival of su***de brings together a number of organizations for fellowship and fundraising.

I'll be set up in front of Anthropologie again this year for my 4th year at Art in the Square October 7th! I love this one day show so much ❤️ I'll have paper and canvas prints, original artwork and some holiday themed creations! Christmas orders will have closed by then (September 30th), but you can still come out and snag some beautiful things to gift!

She gets it ❤️ I think she's speaking to Deion Sanders 🤣

"You're cool, but not how you walk or how cool your sunglasses are...but how you choose to be kind. That's cool."

I'm going to go ahead and close Christmas Commissions at the end of this month even if all spots haven't been filled. I have a live painting coming up this Friday for The Museum BA Night at the Museum Gala and the following week will be out at The Riverwalk Jenks painting live for the annual Out of the Darkness Walk for American Foundation for Su***de Prevention in honor of my brother. The weekend after that I'll be out in Utica Square for Art in the Square! ❤️

We did it! I loved seeing all the kids' happy faces as they passed the wall on their way to my room!!

We're making our mark this year in the art room and our collaborative artwork is going to sprinkle its way throughout our building. Interational Dot Day is this Friday and we just need to add blue and purple the next two days to complete our first installation of 2023. I am over the moon proud of my young artists 🙌🙏

Late breaking news 🙌 You heard it here first folks!

Thank you for all of the Bday wishes today! Here's to 41! I'll be live painting on September 22nd at The Museum BA Gala and out at Art in the Square October 7th to sell some prints and original art in Utica Square!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Finishing up my last round of commissions before I start on my Christmas Commissions! I still have a few spots open if you need to snag a pet portrait or house painting! 🫶
