Pony Artwork

My most well-known work online is my pony artwork! Inspired by my favorite parts of every pony generation, I try to embrace childhood nostalgia in every drawing, whether it's a canon pony friend or someone's cherished OC.
Pony artwork is also what I'm most commissioned for by private clients!

Thesis

My senior thesis at Ringling College of Art and Design was
TALES FROM SANTUAR, a TTRPG concept set in an alien world inhabited by MURIDAE, a range of mouse-like critters with unique cultures and stories. Take a look at some excerpts!

Merch

I operate an online store and attend in-person events as Sparkytopia! Take a look at some of the merchandise I've designed and sold at my tables. A link to my online store is below!

About Me!

Thanks for checking out Sparkytopia!
My name is Sparky, I'm a freelance artist and illustrator. I'm passionate about fun, uplifting art that uses nostalgic imagery to bring a smile to people's faces. Most of my artwork features bright, happy colors and cute imagery, but I love to push myself with more serious artwork and concepts, too! From silly stuffed animals to science fiction and fantasy, I like to draw things that remind my audience that no matter how old you are, childhood whimsy is never out of reach!I graduated with honors from Ringling College of Art and Design (Class of 2023) with a BFA in Illustration, a concentration in Visual Development, and a minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies. You can usually find me working from my home in Alabama, where I have an ever growing collection of My Little Ponies and three cats.If you're a professional client looking to hire me for a project, please reach out to my email, linked below. If you're an individual who'd like a custom commission, my pricing is available through the Commissions button! Thanks for visiting my website!
