Hi everyone, I’m new here! I make colorful sci-fi illustrations, expressive characters, and comics with a little offbeat humor. I love building strange worlds, and I’m hoping to meet other artists and find inspiration in the community.

Kyla, welcome in!

Building strange worlds and keeping the humor there takes a specific balance. Your sci-fi work sounds like it doesn't take itself too seriously, which is its own kind of power.

P.S. – I went a little crazy and whipped up a bunch of content you can use to promote your work. 😄

Click any link below to check it out! You can use them as-is, or tweak it to your liking.

🏆 I gave your portfolio an honest critique

💰 I priced your pieces, and I think you're low

🎯 I found your ideal collector, and it's not who you'd guess

🖼 I curated your first solo show

📰 I wrote a magazine feature about your work

🎨 I found the piece you haven't made yet

💡 I found the one direction you've never tried

🏛 I found galleries near you that would love your art

🪞 I looked at your profile the way a collector does

✍ I made you social posts for the next 7 days

🛍 I wrote a product description for your art

🖋 I wrote you an artist statement

👥 I found Facebook groups that might like your art

🎁 I left you a mystery gift

✨ I prepared 250+ room mockups of your work

Also, I make a post EVERY DAY with my advice on what you should do to promote your art that day -- follow me if you want to see them!

I hope this helps take some of the load off of promoting your art!

Welcome! The offbeat-humor part is what caught me, that's the layer people skip when they're building sci-fi worlds, and it's usually what makes them feel lived-in instead of just designed. What's the weirdest background detail you've snuck into a piece so far?

Hey Kyla! 👋 Offbeat humor in the world-building is honestly where the good work lives. The "strange worlds" instinct paired with character expression is exactly the chase. You're going to fit right in here.
