Two chefs in the foreground in a darker blue shade looking up at a towering five-tiered cake. Top layer is a purple cake with blue frosting, second layer is brown with bright yellow frosting and sprinkles, third layer is blue cake with pineapple slices on the side and framed by croquembouche, fourth layer is pink cake with duck accents and blue and white piping. Cake columns support the fourth layer. The fifth layer is topped with various doughnuts. Pink candles scattered all over the cake. Background is light blue frosting with sprinkles scattered.

One of my favorite spreads for a children’s book concept I’ve been working on since art school about cakes as a metaphor for having kids. Still working on the idea but it gives me a chance to draw really delicious looking treats! #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #digitalart

Smosh fanart; a closeup of a picnic table cloth covered table full of food and small versions of the Smosh cast interacting with them. Courtney relaxing in a jar of pickles like a hot tub, mini versions of Angela rolled up in a pancake on top of a stack of pancakes as well as her walking on top of corn on the cob with broccolini forest behind her. Damien on top of the same cob of corn and holding a kernel. Courtney in a jelly doughnut with their head and torso sticking out. Anthony declined on a Pringle chip. Mini Trevor’s jumping in green jello and flan’ using both as trampolines. Spencer encased in the jello whilst holding a ‘help me’ sign. Another version of Damien waving from the top of a ‘leaning tower of Cheese-a’ from the Goofy movie. Another version of Courtney stuffing her face with garlic bread. And a pair of legs sticking out from red licorice in the red background

Posting my Smosh fanart on here that got pretty popular on my IG: trixie.pixie.art. Here’s Courtney’s dream of being small and interacting with food #smosh #smoshfanart

Ms. De la Piña’s class is now in session. A while back I posted some of my fruit-based character designs and now I got to put them altogether! #illustration #kidlit #characterdesign

Loved the new #FantasticFour movie! Took me back to when I was 6 years old watching the 2005 film in theaters, kickstarting my love for superheroes. Here’s my ode to Marvel’s First Family! #illustration #marvel #fanart #fantasticfourfirststeps

Anybody in the Bay Area wanting to check out some cool Floral art should come by to Tamper Room in Fremont. I have my reworked by Garden Mohawk piece in there! Thanks to the team at Tamper Room for this fun opportunity! #floralart #inbloom #artshow #illustration #gardenmohawk #bayareaart

Forgot to post this on here. Loved seeing so many artists with different styles participate in this challenge. Had so much fun CREATING #starterpacknoai #noai #supportartists

It’s great when I had a cool concept that I can now execute better but I feel like I’m in this cycle where I want to redraw my old stuff but should prob make something new

Do other artists have the constant urge to go thru their old stuff and wanting to redraw them in your current style? I go thru this phase every 3 months??

Here's a double page spread I've worked on for a dummy book I might do for my portfolio. The concept is a young kid trying to emulate his older brother. I had a lot of fun playing with the colors for this one! #kidlit #illustration #digitalart #children'sbook #portfolio

Here’s some character design for a children’s book concept I’m working on to add to my portfolio. I’ve been drawing this lil guy in some way shape or form since college. Would love to expand on this in the future

Good eats and good times last week! #illustration #digitalart #fooddiary #procreate

Here are the results!

Getting back into a regular at practice after having a FT job has been tough, but my friend gifted me some dice with different prompts. The key words for my first prompt were: happy • pattern • figure!

Hi! First time posting on Bluesky! I’m a Bay-Area illustrator hoping to connect with other artists and to create cool projects!
