Hello! I’m Zander and I'm an artist raised in California and currently based in Texas. I've been drawing since I was little, but only got serious about it in high school when I was reintroduced to my passion through my art classes. I began my art career by selling stickers and small prints online, and later at pop-up markets. Currently, I enjoy making art for fun, as well as sharing it and creating new products for people to enjoy! I do my art business on the side right now, but eventually, I'd like to become a full-time illustrator, book designer, and author!
