Artist

I'm Squid or Grey (or if you know me irl, that name's fine too). My real name means art so I can't tell if it's a coincidence or fate that I ended up as an artist. I've been doing art since before I can remember and only became interested in going professional when I turned sixteen. Right now I mostly do digital art, though being in college has gotten me back into acrylic paint, charcoal, oil pastel and mixed media. I do a mix of fanart, original character art, and political art to make a statement as a black queer person. Along with creating visual art, I'm also a cosplayer and (somewhat) a prop maker, practicing abstract photographer and jewelry artisan.I'm currently a Digital Arts major in community college and working on transferring out of state (aiming for Savannah College of Art and Design) for 2D animation or character design for video games. Specifically indie.
