100% Authentic and Real Art
We use a range of mediums including traditional paint like watercolor, digital paint and digital sculpture - but we'd like to emphasize that NONE of the work we do utilizes AI image generators or LLM's in any way shape or form. We offer only 100%, hand made, personally designed creations from start to finish, and always will.
Ask us exactly how we make our work, from start to finish we're happy to chat about our process!
