Veronica Padilla

Hi there!

Nice to “meet” you.

I’m a self-taught maker. My true and oldest love is illustration. As a kid, I was always obsessed with drawing. On top of that, I grew up on Hello Kitty and Garbage Pail kids - which might explain a lot. I would lose myself tracing picture books and making stuff with them. Inventing new projects and leaving creative eruptions all over the house. I’d even forget to eat. It drove my mother nuts.

Fast forward to now, I still do a lot of that but I use digital tools instead - working on lots of fun projects and inspired by minimalism, comedy and this wacky thing we call humanity. But the “forget to eat” part - forget about it. I love food!!! And OK, truth be told, my food love-affair might have a little more history than illustration. But no one wants to pay to watch me eat, so I’m holding strong with illustration. Oldest love. Final answer. Oh, and now I drive my husband nuts. Heh. Heh. Heh.

If you’re still reading and want to know even more, you can find my long-winded horn tootin’ bio, nice things people have said about me, more of my work history and design work on these hyperlinks. And you can also explore my other sites and projects below. Being that this is my happy place, just trying to keep things simple here.
