Heyo #PortfolioDay !

I’m a freelance illustrator and designer from Baltimore. My art has been used throughout digital products and web-based media, though I’m expanding and looking for work in the print realm as well. Let’s work together!

A self portrait of myself holding my head in my hand while looking to the left. There is a pencil behind my ear, and starbursts in the background A woman holding a shining star in her hands. Her semi-sheer dress and large hair is billowing in the wind, shooting stars are falling behind her A swamp girl and vampire girl are looking dramatically over a pumpkin that they are carving Three tiers of characters representing dungeons and dragons characters. The bottom row is of the four main characters (two orcs, a man with red hair, and a blonde haired guy in a sports uniform). In the middle row are three artists painting on a cloak being worn by the large character (the game master) in the top row. The words “the Canvas Campaigns” is lettered at the top of the poster

Hey all! It's been 7 months since my last studio gig, and I'm still on the hunt! My unemployment ran out last week, so I could really use some income. I know things are about to move to a snails pace in the industry with the holidays, but I'm not slowing down!

Cait May, the legend that you are 🎨
Q: This season in particular, it’s extra fun to hear the players see the art and freak out. A: That’s my favorite part. I love to hide things in the background for players to find. Like in Zumhara, we knew we had to make everything out of crystal. I thought, “what grows in that modular, crystal way? Coral. So let’s have that aquatic theme. And if I’m gonna have an aquatic theme, I’m gonna draw fish with legs, and those will be the pets.” I drew a person with a dog fish on a leash chasing a catfish. That was 100% a silly joke. Then instantly, Lou was like, “there’s a dog fish and a cat fish.” I was like, “Yeah, he got it.” Oh, and the lawnmower from Junior Year is hidden somewhere. Q: Could you give a hint for where people can find it? A: Well, if you’re going to build a giant robot, why not use bits from an old robot?

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

A mystical little slug leaving behind a trail of stars ✨

I’ll take any excuse to draw a stump covered with mushrooms 🍄 I’ve been learning to draw insects and such more, so this was a fun challenge!
