Spark

My Etsy shop was born from a deep passion for the things I love—films, musicians, actors, and the stories they tell. These icons spark my creativity, lighting up ideas in my mind that I can’t wait to explore. Armed with pens, pencils, pastels, and paints, I hand-draw portraits that reflect what moves me, turning fleeting inspiration into tangible art that celebrates the pop culture figures I admire.

Craft

From those initial sketches, I craft high-quality prints to share through my Etsy shop. Over the years, I’ve sold around 500, each piece a labor of love made with care and detail. It’s not a business but a hobby—a way to channel my enjoyment into vibrant, frame-worthy artwork. Every portrait is a chance to refine my skills and connect with others who cherish the same creative obsessions.

I blend passion and creativity through my Etsy shop, where I sell hand-drawn prints inspired by films, musicians, and actors. It’s a hobby that’s sparked joy and over 500 sales. Check out a few of my recent pieces below.

Each portrait starts with a spark—my love for pop culture icons—then transforms through craft into vibrant, high-quality prints. Drawn with pens, pencils, pastels, and paints, these works reflect my obsessions and skills. Here’s a few of my recent pictures, showcasing the fun and heart I pour into every creation.
