Despite dropping out of art school, I'm a designer and illustrator in Maryland. I don't know what I'm doing here.

Another iconic Grease scene. Don't worry, I think this'll be the last one. What should I do next?

I wanted to be a Pink Lady sooo badly when I was a kid. I think the styles of the 50s had a chokehold on us 90s kids for some reason. I think I dressed up in a poodle skirt for a couple halloweens in a row IIRC.

I watched Grease this weekend because it was on TV, and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it's a comfort movie for me. I've also been practicing drawing more scenes lately, so prepare yourselves, because I kind of went on a Grease drawing binge over the last 3 or 4 days...

I drew this immediately after watching GDT's Frankenstein, because I just can't get enough of anything that's creepy, gothic, and romantic. I also recently saw Phantom of the Opera on stage, so obviously I can't wait for GDT's version of that. Inject it straight into my veins, plz.

It was only last week that I was at Crooked Con & somehow the notes I took simultaneously feel more important than ever & sadly already out of date after the shutdown. I attended this libbed up fest to see my boy hasan and TBH came away feeling more leftist than before. #liveillustration

I started this illustration on the plane back from CA, but I stopped because I felt super awkward. I was inspired by memories of my Catholic school uniform. IYKYK. Cute & Killer for Halloween! #scaryandsweet2025 @roymeister @jenprocreates @heyalissandra @jessmillerdraws @heathermuellerdesign

I'm not sure why, but I really struggled with this "Beetles and Blossoms" theme. This was actually my second illustration for this one, so I've officially spent too much time on this. #scaryandsweet2025 @roymeister @jenprocreates @heyalissandra @jessmillerdraws @heathermuellerdesign

Maybe I could've drawn creepier reptiles for the "Ribbons & Reptiles" theme, but 2 little chameleons in love? Stop it. #scaryandsweet2025 @roymeister @jenprocreates @heyalissandra @jessmillerdraws @heathermuellerdesign

I saw somewhere this morning that it's Agatha Christie's birthday today, and then I remembered that I illustrated her for the book "Bold, Badass, and Bookish" like... eons ago. Shameless plug or tribute to a beloved author? Hard to say. Happy 135th birthday #AgathaChristie #bookillustration

You know what I love about Instagram? Every time I post something, I lose 1-2 followers. And yet, I don't get as many views on any single post as I used to when the algorithm actually worked. Crazy days. Hanyways, here's a dancing Audrey. #audreyhepburn #maryblair #digitalillustration #aapiartist

As obsessed as I am with tigers, my true spirit animal is the orca. Remember when they were targeting the yachts? That's when I knew. #nobillionaires #digitalillustration #aapiartist #orcas

Because I'm an unapologetic Disney adult, I heard it's #WorldPrincessWeek. So obviously I had to share my drawing of the princess I identify with the most. Before my prefrontal cortex formed, I did some crazy things when boys were involved. #thelittlemermaid #Ariel #disneyprincesses
