Hey, I'm Christopher, and that’s Sheila!

We are both massive fantasy, sci-fi and mythology nerds!
I started making digital art in 2009, and became a full-time freelance artist in 2016, able to work on my own schedule from anywhere in the world.
‍
I created this blog to help young artists make the same journey.
