Hey folks, sorry I haven't posted new work in a while. I've been busy getting ready for the Crampus Market on 12/18 (I may or may not have acquired a pink sequin tablecloth that I feel is essential to my personal brand of "6th grade girl from the late 90s") and I've been working hard on holiday commissions that I can't post yet so I don't ruin any surprises 🤫 In the mean time, here are my top nine posts from 2018 according to likes, followed by the top nine posts according to me and what I like making. Hope to see you at Emporium Logan Square for the market on the 18th and here's to more drawing in 2019 💕 . . . . #illustration #illustrator #womenwhodraw #topnine2018 #artistsoninstagram #chicagoartist #art #artwork #draw #instaart #instaartist #daniknight
