CHARACTER DESIGN

GLUMPY & CO.

Renowned illustrator, Andy J. Pizza states many times in his podcast Creative PepTalk, “Make what you feel.” For the longest time, I was using that as a way to forgive myself for not making artwork due to the fatigue of life. (Isn’t it funny how telling yourself, ‘It’s okay to reward my tired body with some rest',’ can so quickly turn into sleeping through half the day?) One day I realized: WAIT, I HAVE TO MAKE WHAT I’M FEELING, NOT WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT.

Hence, the creation of Glumpy’s House, my first personal business. I turn these illustrations into prints and stickers that one can order off of Glumpy’s website.
