about me
I am an artisan with specialized experience in digital art and video editing. My drawing style has a handmade texture to it, with bright colors, and expressive characters.
I've been doing art since grade school and graduated from University of Louisiana in Lafayette with a Bachelors in Fine Arts with a concentration in Computer Animation. After college, I've been doing odd jobs to support myself since art related jobs in Louisiana are extremely scarce.
I'm mainly interested in doodling, internet culture, stories, reading, video games, gemstones, succulents, nature, sitcoms from the 80s & 90s, cooking, walking, animals, watching Food Network, cartoons and anime shows, mythical topics, comics, cats, and sleeping!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
