🍒Hi! My name is Cherry/Alysa! 🍒
I am an indigenous (Shuswap) Storyboard Artist, Illustrator and Animator. I like early 2000s cartoons, fantasy creatures and birds :^)

image depicts lineless art of Princess Celestia, an alicorn princess character from the My Little Pony franchise. She is drawn in my style, rearing up and looking determined.

Image depicts an illustration of the two main characters from the "Crony" music video. The "Crony" is off to the right, with a head consisting of messy, black smog that transitions to a scene on the left of the "Worker", standing under a spotlight with a shining light as their head. The background consists of swirly, noisy red swirls.

Image depicts a drawing made by me. The drawing features a forest scene with a Mightyena (from the Pokemon Franchise) protecting its three Poochyena young from an unknown Pokemon displayed as a snarling-shadowy figure in the foreground. The Mightyena is in a protective stance with an unwavering, snarling expression. Two Poochyenas are staying behind the parent with one standing up and barking at the figure directly in a show of defiance. The forest is coloured a dark red whereas the main focus of the picture (Mightyena/Poochyena) is coloured green as a way to contrast/make the characters pop on screen.

image shows a skateboard with a salmon river stream design i did for Secwepemc Child and Family Services and Nations Skate Youth as part of a youth gathering. The design depicts a river stream full of salmon swimming up to the “top” of the board. One salmon is jumping above the stream with a sunset in a forest behind it. The logos for Secwepemc Child and Family Services and Nations Skate Youth are included at the bottom. Next to the image is a wall lined with a bunch of the physical boards with the design. The text reads "'SALMON RIVER' SKATEBOARD DESIGN by Alysa Vilac" above the wall pic. Text continues with "NATIONS SKATE YOUTH AND SECWEPEMC CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES YOUTH GATHERING OCTOBER 2024" below the wall pic

If you're wanting to support indigenous creators today, a place i look at often is a website called: ᐋᓃᓐ aaniin.
It's an online marketplace that hosts a variety of artists' works!
(They even had a popup store recently in Toronto!)

www.aaniin.shop?srsltid=AfmB...

Canada's favourite Indigenous retailer aaniin retail inc. houses dozens of Indigenous brands and businesses. Selling apparel, jewelry, accessories, and more (home goods, beauty, decor) based in Toront...

i dont often speak on it, but i am so happy to be learning more about my indigenous culture in my adult years. unfortunately, i didn’t have many opportunities to do so while growing up, due to personal stuff. im just so lucky to have friends and family help me as i learn now ❤️

RED VOX 2024 - #redvox #illustration

Image depicts an illustrated collage of albums by Red Vox, with the appearance of a floating island with waterfalls cascading down into clouds. The base of the island is based off of "What Could Go Wrong", with the top of the island featuring segments from "Realign", "Kerosene", "Another Light" and the single "Stranded". Eminating off the island is a harsh white glow with sharp edges pointing upwards, a nod to the albums "Visions" and "Afterthoughts". Text above the illustration reads "Red Vox"
