Expanded my skill set a couple weeks ago by painting a mural in my future niece’s nursery 💕 It was such a special experience to paint this for her to enjoy during her first years of life! I will definitely be using walls as canvases more in the future. 😊

Message me if you are interested in any mural commissions! ✍🏼 🎨

Now that I have finally graduated, I’m going to try post my work more often! 😅 I have a tendency to hold off on posting until I’m happy with a design. This last semester, I developed another licensing art portfolio with unique tattoo ideas desired by real people. I wanted to challenge myself by using tattoo-inspired styles of drawing for my spot illustrations. As a beer enthusiast, this is one of my favorites! 😊🍻#tattoo #tattooart #artist #licensing #licensingillustration #design #roses #beer #banner #traditional #traditionaltattoo #digital #digitalart #illustration #procreate #hops #beerenthusiast #art #create #brotattoo #digitalillustration #illustrator #graphicdesign
