My art vs artist for 2023 (swipe for 2022, 2021 and 2020)! 🥂✨ This year for me has been quite eventful and I am extremely thankful for everything & everyone 😊🙏
This year I finished my thesis film, graduated and got my first ever full-time job as a character designer. It’s been a busy time but I feel like I’ve been learning a lot and I am so extremely grateful. Looking forward to what 2024 has in store!! 😊💛
Some early pen explorations I’ve done here and there for a personal project I’ve been wanting to do for a few years ✨🐠
My very first sketches of some fish characters were in 2020 and I sort of just left them alone for a bit. But for the past few months my brain kept lingering back to them so here we are 😅
Just a couple of buddies hanging out 😎☀️
I forgot I made these lil dudes a few months ago and slipped them into a folder I brought with me when I moved!! Now they are living their best life!
Ended up colouring the Tommy Atomic poses!! ✨I think I would like to do some poses of his sidekick version some time!! :D
Here is the current final car for my Scoop of Justice project! I wanted to find a balance between an ice cream truck and a police car. Fun challenge! 🍦✨
Some explorations I did for a few of my Tommy Atomic characters! ✨☀️
A new personal project, Tommy Atomic! I wanted to do something in a more TV style in order to practice my simplifying and line art. I’m having a lot of fun with it and I’ll be sharing more pieces, but for now, here is the current character line-up! ✨☺️
I was super excited to get to be a bonus part of the ‘Sketching From The Imagination: Character Concepts’ book from that just came out!! 🌻 There are so many amazing artists in the book and you definitely have to check it out!
You can purchase the book here and my section will come as an exclusive download (these are 3/6 of the pages of my section)

I remember when I was in high school one of my first art related books was one of their sketching from the imagination series so I am really thankful to be included. 💛
Some poses of Eevee!! This is the final design I went with based on the exploration from my previous post! She’s a lil’ fashionista 🌷⭐️
Some traditional pen / colored pencil explorations for a personal project called Caveman Couture! Meet all the potential Eevee’s 😁
P.S. I just recently finished my thesis film so I am finally more free!! Thesis sneak peeks + personal work coming soon 💛
Hii! A lot of my time lately has been dedicated to completing my thesis film and I am finally almost done!! 🤩 I wanted to get some stickers made of my little character so I was super excited when reached out to me to offer me a coupon and do a collab!
I got some stickers as well as a cork board + easel stand! The stickers turned out to be really nice in quality and the overall look is perfect for what I wanted! The cork board and easel stand are also great (can’t wait to use them for possible expos, etc.) Overall, the website has a lot of merchandise options which are all so tempting and the customer service is also really quick. Thank you so much again for the coupon vograce, I loved it! Definitely going to get more stuff made in the future !
(P.S. I got these prints made a month ago and plan to open up a lil’ shop with them and the stickers too!) ☀️☀️
