It's been awhile since I've done a mandala with pen and paper. Today I shall attempt to channel Elsa and let that shit go. . . . . . . . . . . #letthatshitgo #letitgo #mindfulness #mandala #illustration #penandink #mandalatattoo #lettering #allcaps #blackandwhite #tombowdualbrushpens #micron #monoline #fauxlligraphy #moderncalligraphy #modernlettering

It occurs to me that I now have a bunch of followers that I don't know, but you'll soon come to understand that despite the snarky exterior, I am a friendly Midwestern girl who loves to make friends. Hi, I'm Kris! Let's do a #fridayintroduction. This is me in my natural habitat, with no makeup on and cuddling an animal. . 🦸‍♀️ by day, I work in marketing in Chicago. (But on the numbers / ideas side- I'm not a creative! . 🐈🐈I have two special needs ginger cats that I spoil rotten. No one else wanted them and thus, we are a house full of special needs gingers (I have some mental health issues that I talk openly about here and in other places)😊 . For shorthand I uploaded my response to a #homwork prompt from ages ago- it basically lists everything I love. . Lettering and illustration has become a super fun hobby for me and I've loved meeting other fun talented people. Say hi! . #fridayintroductions #letteringsquad #illustrationartists #illustratorsofinstagram #sidehustle #digitalart
My cat and I have been working on a Chicago summer bucket list because the winter blahs have hit this house hard. I refuse to be beaten into submission by another Midwestern winter 😬 . . . . . . . . . . . #chicago #chicagosummer #summerbucketlist #seasonaldepression #bucketlist #somanyactivities #moderncalligraphy #modernlettering #washitape #tombowbrushpen
I wanted to try something new and knew that Don, the world's most impossibly cool animal, would be the perfect test subject. I'm certain he's a whiskey guy. . . . . . . . . . #donsofinstagram #petportrait #petillustration #vectorart #vectorartwork #digitalart #digitalillustration #catportrait #ipadpro #ipadart #ipadillustration #whimsical #whiskey
Super excited to share that I've opened an additional Zazzle shop to give people the option of buying designs on buttons! Denim vest season is fast approaching-- do you have the required pieces of flair?

I'm as guilty of it as the next person-- sometimes it feels like people are having happiness *at you*. They aren't. Happiness is a renewable resource and they're not using it all up. (Wanted to challenge myself with only a chunky Expo dry erase marker-- that was tough!) . . . . . . #mantra #mantras #socialmediasurvivaltips #doyou #happiness #selfcare #whiteboard #whiteboardart #dryerase #whiteboardlettering #moderncalligraphy #fauxlligraphy #radicalselflove
