I am an artist by trade. I specialize in a wide range of art. I’ve done silhouette portraits, pet portraits, anime art, cosplay, and various 3D arts.
I was born in Alabama but I live in the North Georgia mountains with my kids, cats, and chickens.
I’ve been cosplaying since I was 10 years old and I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil.
What got you into art?
Honestly? I can thank my sister for my true passion into art. My sister used to draw anime styled art in the 90s and I wanted to be just like her. I was very passionate about original characters and stories. As I grew up, my mom supported me with extra curricular art classes and supplies.
I found myself in many different art clubs and events through my years in elementary school. I was homeschooled through middle school but received a drawing tablet as a gift. I still have that tiny blue pad and I created plenty of art. I spent a lot of my days lurking around Deviantart and making lots of friends and mentors.
Once I hit highschool I went back to public school. I had two peers I considered mentors there, as they made amazing pieces of art and gave me tips and recommendations for art equipment.
By the end of highschool I had taken several basic art classes, AP Art History, and AP Studio Art. I basically took everything there was to offer. At the time I was one of two students at that high school who passed the AP Studio Art exam with my portfolio.
I never stopped creating, but I had kids and slowed down a lot. I’ve been constantly working throughout the years to improve on myself.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020 I took that opportunity to upgrade my equipment. I went from working with traditional art to getting an amazing graphic screen tablet.
An artist by many names.
Zombiefox Studio is my main project. It is where I publish my cosplays, interact with convention friends, and post all my artwork. I work through Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, ETC under the Zombiefox Handle.
Lucky Cat is the auxiliary project I run through a shop in Downtown Blue Ridge, GA. Because of the nature of my town and the clientele I softened up my wild undead critter image to a more approachable Japanese Bobtail. This is in honor to the real life maneki neko I had in highschool. Through Lucky Cat, I sew aromatherapy ricebags, sell decals and jewelry, make hand creams, and create greeting cards.
I live in a very art centric tourist destination and hope to set myself up at art shows and farmers markets in the area with the creations I make under my Lucky Cat project.
