How the art is made
and a little backstory 🖤

Hi, heyy, hi—I'm Krystal (they/them). I’m a trans/nonbinary bisexual 35 year old taurus illustrator & designer located in Austin, Texas. I love collecting VHS, going to the theaters, and binge-watching all the tv shows—and being all cozy, comfy, and LOVE hanging out with friends & family. Clients have said things like “I love this so much, I can’t stop looking at it.”

The saying in my family goes is that I was drawing before I could talk. I’ve been a traditional artist all my life, but went to college for graphic design and had a huge passion for photography. I like to think of myself as a “jack-of-all-trades.” When it comes to art—I enjoy learning and adding whatever I can to my tool box to utilize in future projects. 

My artistic process starts with pretty much anything that sparks my interest or inspires me. I like to work within the realm of realism, but with a touch of illustration & design. Most of my work is produced digitally through Procreate, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop—However, I recently got back into sewing & crafting, which is definitely why more custom mixed media art and customized attire will be available on the custom page, along with commissioned art.

I'm excited to share my creations here at MADE BY KRYSTAL.

Here, you'll find a collection of digital art prints & custom attire, featuring original designs that I hope will bring a touch of weird wonderful joy to your home, closet—and to YOU!

Thank you for stopping by—much love, y’all!
