I'm a pseudo-housewife and an occasional freelance illustrator.

I'm fascinated by flat expanses of color and minimal detail. Adobe Illustrator was love at first sight for me.

Most of my art is done in Illustrator from original sketches on paper; on the rare occasions I use photo reference, it's only for inspiration.

This is not my journal; go read my
LiveJournal if you want to hear about my daily life and see lots of unfinished doodles.

Buy some prints and keep me happy to do this stuff. If there's a piece you'd like a print of, comment on it and let me know! I don't process my stuff for printing here unless someone asks.

Old stuff: VCL

Because the forums here so often have people asking about "finding their style":

Style is like love. It sneaks up on you when you're not looking.

It's the bits you're naturally good at. It's the cheats and abstractions of reality you've internalized, whether you figured them out yourself or stole them from another artist. It's the things you just can't get a handle on, no matter how hard you try, and the ways you've evolved to make this look intentional.

You can appropriate someone else's style, but your style is what you get when you pick apart the styles of all your influences and stick them in a blender along with observation of reality, analysis, and practice...
