Ah! This was one of my favourite cartoons as a child! I'd watch it every Saturday morning. Now, Scrooge was my least favourite as a kid because of how sometimes he didn't encourage Huey, Duey, and Louie to go on all the adventures they wanted to, but not having revisited the series as an adult, I don't know whether I'd feel differently now. Nevertheless, I love the drawing! It takes me straight back to such a simpler time. Love the detailing on the money bin building, especially the sheen on the dollar sign, and his expression is so on point. Although he's a cartoon duck, the care taken to make his expression and attitude simultaneously cantankerous yet also have some flair and eccentricity (both of which were standout traits of his character in the series) is impeccable. The bright, vibrant colouring of the light grass and backdrop perfectly encapsulates the style of nearly all of the cartoons of my day. One thing that astonishes me about this artist is the range of references she knows. Sure, she's one of the youngest people I know (she's even marginally younger than my niece), but this girl isn't only just drawing TikTok stars and current fashion trends (although her work in modern figures is still as great as all the rest, such as some of her works of current pop stars, modern animations and young actors). This young lady is not only aware, but has familiarized herself enough with works, characters, and figures from even my time and even before that. Sure, she's into Rise of the Guardians, Billie Eilish, Tegan and Sara, and the like, but she's also proven herself time and again to be just as astute in 90s culture (see her skateboarding phase, her Kurt Cobain portrait, and several of her grungy-looking characters), the 80s (who can ignore her passion for metal, and even when that's not the focus, she's also an expert on 80s girl fashion trends, colours, and aesthetics, as showcased in much of her original pieces), and even life from before my parents were born (The Doors, anyone? Her Morrison portrait made me tear up, remembering my own father who loved the band, and even older than that, as occasionally she'll give her characters a quirky 1950s essence, a Victorian Gothic flair, or a 40s rubber hose cartoon aesthetic). Her seemingly immortal reference pool, though, aids her greatly in her work, as no two pieces look alike, even when they're of the same or similar figures. She doesn't seem to gravitate more heavily toward any one era, instead giving

Again, sorry. I had to answer an important phone call. You see, my job requires me to travel often, and I was getting details on where I ought to be within the month. I try not to make my profile on here about my own personal life, but I cannot wait to arrive where they're having me. I've been there before, but it's beautiful, such an honour to be there. Anyway, sorry. Back to the artist, who gives equal love and attention to any and all eras she chooses to extract inspiration from. Her work never feels as if she's making a mockery of anything or has only a rudimentary, stereotypical understanding of times even before her own because even when she does draw more stereotypical characters, even they capture the exact likeness of what that sort of figure would be and feel like. Every single work of hers, whether original or based on someone existing, makes me feel like I'm having a one-on-one encounter with her subjects, even when they're cartoons, animals, or even fantasy characters. That is pure, raw talent in its finest form. Keep up the amazing work, my darling.

Wow! I remember this, my children loved the Ducktales, and I must admit I did as well, and still do! I was advised to check out this young woman's creations and that someone was right! Also, how wonderful that her friend is supporting her, I mean after all women supporting women, and as all yhings human, we should all support one another! I digress, this drawing is absolutely amazing! He is definitely upset and looks quite like the curmudgeon they make him out to be. The details, coloring, and precision of the picture is beautiful! The money sogn on the building, has a shine of gold that we know it to be, his hat, bill, shoes, and glasses are exactly as you would see in the cartoon. I miss Saturday morning toons! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to be able to have a look at your body of work. Thank you, for making me smile! 😀

Hey, nice to see you here! Yeah, she's definitely a talent. She's great with cartoons, but you also must check out her original characters and her portraits. I was so transfixed by the beauty of her creations (and, admittedly, possibly hyper focused because I was exhausted, seeing as I hardly slept that entire weekend) that I found myself lucky enough to have seen all of it. She wants to be a children's illustrator, and I believe she'll make it so far so fast it'll make your head spin. It would be an honour for your children to be able to read a book with her wonderful art in it. She'd be able to make any text leap off the page and exist in a beautifully believable world. If I find myself a father during her time of success, her books will definitely go in my collection. Hope you enjoy the ride because she's not leaving anytime soon, which makes me happy.
