Hey, it's my Portfolio Site
I'm Emily, an artist in the greater Seattle area. In 2015 I graduated with a BFA from DigiPen's Fine Art and Production Animation program. I then spent 6.5 years at Funko as a 3D Visual Designer doing product rendering. As you can probs see from my site's navigation, I've got experience with a variety of different programs and mediums.As of 2025 I've set out on a quest to become a tattoo artist apprentice. I'll be updating my portfolio and socials as that saga unfolds.╰(°▽°)╯

Tattoo Flash Design
Back in 2024 I realized I wouldn't be happy spending my days with a "regular" career and doing art on the side. That said, I wasn't keen on getting back into production art for a corporation. Honestly it's kind of embarrassing how long it took me to realize tattooing was a possible career path, given how much I love the medium. Like, oh yeah, given enough time and resources, you can just...learn how to do new things.So in January of 2025 (following a prescient event involving a rat and one, very unfortunate car engine) I quit my day job to pursue tattooing full time.I have my BBP certification and WA state license and am currently seeking an apprenticeship.Below is my current working portfolio of flash designs. This iteration focuses on showcasing a variety of my interests, both stylistically and subject matter. I love strong blackwork, organic lines, and bright colors. I'm really fond of tattooing techniques that mimic other mediums (pencil sketches, paint, etc.) As far as content goes, I'm not picky at all and prefer going off client prompts. Left to my own devices, though, I like drawing characters and elements like smoke, fire, and splatter effects.I'm always enthusiastic for feedback, advice, or resource recommendations!
