Hello @bsky.app ! It’s wonderful to be here! 😭🖤✨ I’m Lauren, a tiny #illustrator currently traversing the #chicago streets. I’m working speedily on building up my social media content but for NOW, please enjoy saying “hullo!” to… My son! 🐁🐟🧬
Hi #portfolioday! I’m Lauren, a Chicago-based Illustrator who loves #clipstudiopaint, hot pink, creature design, and horror! 🖤✨ Sometimes I paint with gouache to feel fancy.

Some ideation for a rosé wine bottle concept last year ✨️ The final product went in a slightly different direction, but I love this initial concept. I'd buy it. #productdesign #graphicdesign #digitaldesign #digitalillustration #illustration #wine #digitalart #art #sketch #pink #garden #rose #rosewine

Watercolor and pastel illustration based on an aquarium prompt 🩵 I can't wait to go back. Sketching while out and about is so much fun! One day I'd love to record the experience. Maybe vlog about those days off?? Dunno. #watercolor #illustration #coloredpencil #traditionalart #childrensillustration

My contribution to #hourlycomicday last week. My days are very boring and generally start with me waking up hours before I need to.
