Updating my #profilepic ! Not much has changed since the last one, just longer hair and cooler earrings. Oh, and the oozing brain monster, that’s new too 👁️ #kidlitart

One of my favorite things about the sun setting so early is being able to peek into other people’s lives 🌛 I’ve always been really inspired by that little glance into someone else’s world! #kidlitart #illustration

Thursday #artshare with the works that are most quintessentially YOU!
These two from LAST YEAR nail the sweet spot of color, lines, and storytelling that feel the most me! I love drawing magic lurking on the edges of mundane life ✨also added a doodle from last month so I feel less like a slouch!
