I’m Rennie Kingsley, an illustrator and designer who loves bringing characters to life through bold color, thoughtful design, and story-first artwork. My work is very versatile; I have extensive experience with style matching, modern aesthetics, fashion, cartooning, realistic drafting, visual storytelling, and I shine when it comes to designing colors and composition. I also have a good deal of experience with creating art with physical products in mind, from concept art to technical files. Specifically, I’ve designed t-shirts, socks, pins, calendars, greeting cards, stickers, and plushies and seen them through every step of the process, and I understand how they are made from start to finish. I’ve also worked with intellectual properties like Disney, Sanrio, Star Wars, Marvel, Capcom, the Jim Henson Company, and Nickelodeon, and thoroughly understand the importance of precision, attention to detail, and how to create art that is both eye-catching and faithful to the project’s requirements. I consider myself to be an enthusiastic collaborator, a dedicated student of art, and sincerely open-minded to all the possibilities of art and creativity to spread joy and enrich the lives of others. Art is about communication and connection, and I consider it my calling to create art that brings joy to others
