I'm going to be vending at my first in person event soon at Ravenswood Art Walk. If you were looking to grab a copy of Empyrean or Full Moon Lodge in person, I will be set up at Bad Coffee Sept 13-14. This isn't everything I have, either - I've been cooking up tons of new stuff to sell :D

A little doodle of Nancy I digitized because I liked it so much. She’s so much fun to draw, but only appears in my story in flashbacks 😭

Some doodles of my OC, Nancy in some Pinterest fits. #ocsky #originalcharacter

This zine about my grief losing my cat is coming to the shop soon. This is helping me keep an even head through my grief. It helped me through the silence of my house and it helped me to talk about my sweet Keekee.

I wanted to do a little Valentine’s themed piece because aesthetically, it matched. I really like how this turned out, so it may be my February print for my Patreon!

Some rough doodles of Bobbi Lyn. I was worried I’d hate drawing her tattoos but it is very meditative. I will likely simplify them if I end up making a comic w her, tho

Bobbi Lyn. My husband and I are still trying to hammer out a story/universe to put her in but I already love her ❤️

I worked in this pic of my oc, Bobbi Lyn, for ages. It isnt what I wanted it to be, but sometimes you have to admit defeat. I still like it anyway 😌🥰

A little piece of my OCs: Finlay, Claire, and Roy. This was probably my favorite piece I did of them in 2024

Hi, folks! My name is Lauren - I’m a cartoonist living in Chicagoland. I’m super stoked to have finally made an account here - I’m discovering so many new, great artists, and feeling very inspired.
