I'm a illustrator and designer who just graduated with a BFA in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design.
I take requests, but I don't always do them. If I turn you down, it's nothing personal! There are some things I just won't draw, and other times it's just bad timing. I don't do elaborate pictures unless I get carried away. (You can also always commission me to draw something more elaborate and specific and we can discuss a price.)
