A collection of mermaid-inspired illustrations created over the past 12 years as part of the annual #Mermay drawing challenge. Each May, artists across social media participate in this “just for fun” creative exercise focused on exploration, consistency, and character design.
Each piece has been an opportunity to experiment with playful color, imaginative concepts, expressive linework, and a touch of whimsical storytelling. This collection reflects a more personal side of my work and a love for creating charming, character-filled worlds.
This section features a collection of mermaid stickers I created as part of a freelance project in 2014. I was one of ten North Dakota artists selected for the Albino Buffalo vending machine project, created by Jeff Knight of Cereal.
This work comes from a time when I was just beginning to discover my illustration style and explore digital painting more deeply. It’s always fun to revisit these pieces and see how much growth can happen over time - each one marking a step along the way.
