I hear it's #PortfolioDay !

I'm Paige, a comic artist and illustrator from Montreal. I love drawing everything from the super cute to the super spooky, as long as there's some magic ✨️☀️

Let's connect!

Illustration of a lizard at a counter in a fabric store. Her bag says 'sew darn cute'. A crocodile stretches out lemon print fabric for her.

Cloaked woman holding an axe and her face with a glowing slit pupil eye. A fox laughs over her shoulder.

2 students reading in the centre of a messy bedroom crowded with magic supplies and scrolls.

A couple dancing in the middle of a dark room lit by the man's magic coming from his free hand. The other partygoers are in awe, confused or disapproving.

I didn't realize till after I was done I could call it... The Apple Coreousel :D

Side note: I think the little flowers in the frame being salted caramel popcorn is my best idea ever 🙂‍↕️

Illustration of a carousel shaped like an apple core. The 'horses' are snails ridden by frogs. The frame is made up of carnival treats

Hi!! It's my birthday!! From what I understand I'm allowed to shamelessly ask for attention and validation so here's my art! Follow me if you like cats!

a stylized drawing of a running black cat on dark blue background, surrounded by black plant silhouettes and yellow stars

Drawing of a black cat strolling through a colorful early autumn landscape

a drawing of an orange cat, curled up, upside down, looking at the camera with big, round, shiny eyes, without a single brain cell behind them. The text around says "Pure of heart, dumb of ass"

a flat lay of a bunch of ceramic plates in different shapes and sizes, but most of them in some kind of cat shape (loaf, face, curled up..) + one fox and one tiger. All of them are in tones of blue and white, on a blue background
