I launched my illustration business, XO-LP in 2009, going full-time as an artist in 2014. In the past 9 years, I have worked on over 600 custom illustration projects including illustrations that appeared in Midwest Living and Better Homes and Gardens Magazines, a Rogue jump box that Carrie Underwood owns, a portable mural for Facebook, a water tower that looks over my hometown of Muscatine, Iowa, collaborations with Bud Light, VizyPay and the student body at Greenwood Elementary School.
Working with clients to create thoughtful, creative work made with markers and wit, I specialize in whimsical line-drawings. I am skilled in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate, but I make sure my digital illustrations maintain the handmade quality of the work I do in black ink. Taking inspiration from my childhood favorites (Highlights Magazine and Where’s Waldo books) the goal of my work is always to delight my clients.
I specialize in bringing ideas to life with a felt-tip pen.
