about me!

Hi! Welcome to Sparkytopia! My name is Sparky, I'm an American illustrator and visual development artist. 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 what makes people feel good!

​

I  recently graduated 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 three cats and a lot of fun! I recently rebranded from @hellspawnsparks to my new handle @sparkytopia, so please excuse any handle or signature inconsistencies. It's all still me!

I am currently represented by Esty Loveing-Downes with ArtHouse Literary Agency. For children's books or literary illustration, pleases reach out to ArtHouse! Thanks for visiting my website!
