What People Are Saying

  • I love your style. I'm so used to seeing the pretty polished female characters that I don't really relate to. Your characters are different which is why I like them so much. Your art shows what it feels like to be female, not what people think it should be.

  • I love your art so much. I love how unique it is and the attitude it conveys of all of us non-Barbies of the world.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Your horoscope pieces are one of my favorites that I've seen done of the signs. Cute, unique characters drawn in a style that gives an amazing feel similar to Tim Burton, and sayings that encompass the overwhelming 'doneness' I feel with the human race and I am so here for it.

Christy Illustrates – Dark, Sassy, and a Little Burnt

I’ve always been drawn to the weird, the witty, and the wonderfully twisted. Art has been my escape, my rebellion, and my way of turning life’s chaos into something that makes people smirk, laugh, or feel just a little more understood. I started creating because, like many of us, I needed an outlet—something that wasn’t just about surviving but about thriving through humor, sarcasm, and a love for the beautifully odd.

From digital illustrations to woodburned art, I mix dark, sassy, and slightly creepy elements with a pop of humor—because why shouldn’t skulls and mushrooms come with a side of attitude? My designs aren’t just art; they’re little reminders that even in the toughest times, you can still find something to smile (or snicker) about.
