Here’s a lil infographic I did for the magazine (not yet finished), but we released the podcast version of the story this week so I can finally show it off!

This is a mini illustration project I did for work, to create a hexagon pattern that multiplied with each new unit, but also looked dynamic and not too gridded out. You can see the whole website here:

Did this little illustration for an infographic we’ll be publishing soon about child development.

The monster project is an effort to teach children about creativity and the power of their own minds. Kids draw monsters and artists from all over the world recreate them in their own styles!

I try to only post original work on my blog, but this project was just too adorable not to share.

I recently discovered skillshare.com and started taking courses on it, it’s seriously the best thing ever. You can learn so much cool stuff on there, I’m obsessed. If anyone wants a referral, we would both get a month free!

This is my project from Anne Bollman’s class on illustration in photoshop:

I’m doing a series of looser drawings, portraits of super glamorous flapper ladies, and I’m loving it so far. Thinking about dusting off the ol’ Etsy shop and selling some prints.
