Heya, I’m Keirin (they/them). I draw cartoons and stuff.
I’ve been an artist all my life but I’m also a gamer, a crafter, an animation lover, a comic-book reader, a film buff and I play a lot of D&D with friends and family as both player and occasional Dungeon Master. In other words, I’m a geek.
My favorite things to draw are cute and creepy or unusual characters with bright colors, big personalities and silly aesthetics. I’ve developed my art style over many years of practice, inspired by artists like Lois (Loish) Van Baarle, Allison (Skirtzzz) McKenzie, Don Bluth and Alphonse Mucha. I started out largely self-taught, but later received some classical training in art and game design with a little animation schooling on the side. I use Clip Studio Paint with an Artist Pro XP-Pen tablet for most of my digital illustration.
