I want to share more of my process and work with you, so I’m trying something new... I’m giving away one of my drawings to one subscriber each month. You can sign up (link in my bio 👆) to be entered into the lucky draw for the original artwork. There will be a second lucky draw for those who want to buy limited edition prints of said drawing.

Hoping I can aspire to that mission 💪💪💪 #freeart #foryou #yep #youreadthatright
