My name is Lee, I’m a non-binary artist in my twenties, and I’m an avid fan of all things fantasy and horror.I was born in SoCal and currently reside here, but I’ve lived on both coasts of the US and even in the Dominican Republic. I adore animals of all kinds, having done years of rescue and foster work, but the current loves of my life are my cat, Jojee, and my two dogs, Piper and Lil’ Dude (Dudey).I’ve worked as a freelance artist professionally for nearly a decade, but I’ve had a natural interest in art since I was in diapers. I was lucky enough to have a parent that didn’t look down on creative careers and encouraged me from the day I was able to hold a pencil. Because of that (and hard work) I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with companies like Redbubble, Skillshare, Displate, and Amino Apps, and music artists like Sister Sandy and YenWon. I have no real end goal for my career, be it working for a company or freelancing the rest of my life, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop pushing my boundaries every chance I get.Outside of art I dabble in music production, collecting (crystals, funko pops, mugs, xenomorph merch), gardening, and binging anime with my fiancé. I’m clinically diagnosed with OCD, BPD, and PTSD, and have been medicated for years. I have no shame in mentioning this as I think it’s important to normalize the presence of neurodivergent people, especially those with personality disorders, without jumping to stereotypes. I’m always open to any questions on mental health.
