Hi, my name is Dawn! or Richie! (any pronouns)

At a young age I took inspirations from Sunday comics such as Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes. The simplistic art and writing style was an attribute that I clung to. Overtime; finding even more inspiration from the media I would explore. Stylized video games like Paper Mario to expressive cartoons like Spongebob, my childhood was spoiled with creative energy from all angles.

Nowadays I spend almost my entire life drawing. As a full-time, freelance illustator, my 9 to 5 has turned into drawing commissioned art for clients, drawing and selling my own my own art online or at convention, and working on my own webcomic; Platinum Dreams. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

I also have two cats, Olive and Colby. They're basically my little cheerleaders as I sit hunched over at my desk all day.

I have dabbled in many creative ventures, but I'm always looking for more. If you have any project you think my art and I would fit nicely into, please hit me up!
