I am currently pursuing a master's degree in British Literature trying to create some fame and fortune on the side. These drawings are the product of many crayon battles between me and my siblings in our younger years; we would often illustrate small snippets from random conversations we overheard. Of course, crayons gave way to colored pencils which gave way to fancier colored pencils which ultimately gave way to a WACOM tablet and Adobe Photoshop. Many of the images you see here are glorified reprints of early crayon-scribbled versions.

I try to be as current as possible, but with several classes full of students demanding my brainy literary expertise, I'm afraid my art gets shelved at times. Still, I'm glad you stopped by and I hope you'll stop my my livejournal and barrage me with compliments, comments, questions, and your own drawings (which I will soon feature on a fanart section of this website). I also take text requests (which I will illustrate and post here, of course) and will happily accommodate paid-for prints and nonprofit use of my work. Drop me a line at vanillapuddle@gmail.com with all your aesthetic queries.
