Do you offer any Training?
I do offer one on one creative consulting services, and private training services in the creative field. My primary experience has been in illustration help and laser/ engraving work (machine troubleshooting, set up, software advice, etc). Feel free to email me for more info!
Can i use your images?
I do not allow any images from the site to be used unless permission is granted exclusively from me (via email). Sorry folks!
The artwork displayed on this website and within my portfolio may not be used for AI training, machine learning datasets, or automated pattern generation.
Downloading, scraping, or collecting artwork for use in generative AI systems is strictly prohibited.
Can I feature you on my blog/ site?
I’d love to discuss features! Please send me an email to better discuss the opportunity 🙂
Do you have any advice for dealing with people/companies stealing your work?
I’ve had my art stolen many times. I always make sure to have a Cease and Desist order on hand to send out to the shop owners, or a DMCA complaint form. Most of the time, companies respect these forms. Feel free to download my generic forms! (COMING SOON)

DESIGN QUESTIONS
Tools of the trade?
I use my iPad pro & Apple pencil for most illustrative work. I also subscribe to Adobe CC and use a Macbook Pro for my design. For my handmade products, I use a Cricut Maker, Silhouette Cameo 4 plus, HTVfront Auto Heat Press(sublimation), OMTech 60W CO2 laser and a OMTech 30w fiber laser.
Service prices?
Services are priced based on the job requirement and what is needed. Please contact me for a custom quote on your project.
Can i use your images of samples to gauge interest in products/ files?
I do not allow any images from the site to be used unless permission is granted exclusively from me. Unfortunately, this can cause a lot of confusion.
In the future, when I launch my file club, I will have certain rules/ images in place that can be used- but I haven’t quite gotten there yet!
ILLUSTRATION QUESTIONS
will you draw my character?
For a price, sure! Please send me an email! I do not do free requests unless it is generic and posted in my blog under my “drawing a day” post. Generic is more along the lines of a type of animal, flower, concept, etc.
Something like a custom character specific to you would need to be commissioned.
will you draw Fanart?
I only draw fanart per contests and/or practice. I will never sell any fan pieces nor would I accept any fan-based commissions. An example of this would be a hand-made plush artist who sews Pokemon plush asks me to make a custom tag for the plush. Not only is this illegal, but it goes against my moral code. I will not profit off somebody else’s character(s) no matter how small nor large the franchise is.
What types of illustration do you do?
I am working on Children’s book illustration but have also worked with pet illustration, pattern and surface design as well as mascots and general cartoons.
Please make sure to check out my illustration page and instagram for examples of my styles and work!
Will you draw X in a certain style?
Please take a look at my illustration and let me know what style you are looking for. I work with a variety of different brushes.
If you are looking for something out of my norm, please make sure to send me a reference as to what exactly you are looking for.
Handmade/ SVG Questions
Can I buy your SVGS?
Yes, I am working on a specialty file slub where this will be possible! Stay tuned for more information. The club will offer laser SVGS, plotter SVGS and sublimation graphics.
Can i request more info?
I have a whole section on my blog for crafting questions and tutorials! Why not check it out and see if anything there fits your needs?
Can you make me a custom SVG file?
I can work with SVG conversions (images to engrave files), custom layered files/ graphics and more.
I also offer file testing and professional design services that relate to that. If you are a designer and looking for someone to sample/ test/ photograph your designs, feel free to check out this document that goes into detail on this service and pricing.
