Hello, I'm Lauren!
I'm a cozy artist, comic creator and storyteller originally from Oregon, now based in Sydney, Australia. I love making cozy, whimsical art inspired by fantasy, animals and nature. As an Autistic illustrator, I love projects that feature inclusive stories. I am currently working on my debut graphic novel, Side Quest!
I started this little creative corner with the dream of sharing art that feels like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day. Since then, it’s grown into a space for cozy art, comics, bookish merch, and charming colouring pages that bring a bit of magic into every life.
My debut cozy fantasy graphic novel, Side Quest, is coming 2026! Follow my journey becoming an Author & Illustrator on my Patreon!
Join me on my side quest...drawing Side Quest!
When I’m not making art, you can usually find me reading my endless TBR Romantasy pile! I also love High-Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Cozy Mystery & Cozy Romance novels.
I am currently offering Custom Book Cover Designs!

I am a Designer by day, Comic Artist by night! Check out my UX/UI design work, currently hyper-focusing on Game UX and Accessibility in Games.
Side Quest to Japan
During my art residency, I created a series of diary comics of my own personal side quest to Japan.
Everywhere I traveled, my character Cornelius Scalybottom, an Autistic dragon with noise cancelling headphones, traveled with me.
