I LOVE CUPCAKES. So I drew this cupcake queen, fairy, girl. She’s pretty cool, hanging out in front of that bakery there – blessing it with her sprinkles and bottomless supply of pink frosting. What if you could grow pink buttercream instead of hair? That would be kinda gross, but I bet if you were a little girl, that sort of thing would be undeniable awesome. Oh, and it would be calorie-less – since it’s magical and stuff.

Am I feeling ready to travel? Whisk me off please.

I outfitted this girl in my company’s very own sneakpeeq style : clothing, iphone case + necklace! haha. Funny what inspires you…
Anyway…this is just a bit of a sketch + me getting in the full swing of drawing again. Yey!

Girl with blue hair – you know, because that’s what I look like ;)

Not a full out “sweetpencil illustration”, but I’m happy with what I learned from doing this etc. I loosely tried to imitate the painting style of loish. I envy her murderously. haha. Anyway, here it is. Blue hair, blue bird.
