“Digital Artist: MS Paint” (2025) by Courtney Lee Designs. A deliberately messy arrangement of type (fonts: Geomanist, Ariel, Papyrus, and Comic Sans) across a canvas with the Windows 98 version of MS Paint. A running joke about Courtney’s roots as a graphic designer, and inspired by an older rendition she made back in 2020. It reads: “Graphic design is my passion…but it’s also my prison. Are you looking for a digital artist??? Look no further!!! Graphic design is literally my passion. I’m a real designer. Trust me. I’m a professional. I follow all of the rules. Can’t you tell? What kind of awful person would just let you suffer through a page of Loren ipsum text? Certainly not me. I just think this message is super important. Besides, my color palettes are sooo pretty. Also, Papyrus is my favorite font (besides Comic Sans, obviously). But your favorite font is Helvetica, so who is the real loser here? I am clearly the best graphic designer and digital artist ever. You can tell, because this is my passion.”

A cute, angry dumpling with fists raised stands on a plate, facing a giant pair of chopsticks. The dumpling looks ready to fight, with sparkles and motion lines emphasizing its feisty stance. Above it, bold text reads “FIGHT OR FLIGHT” in playful, bold letters. The background is a soft beige, enhancing the warm and whimsical vibe.
