# About me

Remember when childhood was a time of imagination? You knew in your heart if you could think it, then it could happen. No matter how fantastic, mystical, or just plain cool you imagined your world could be, you didn’t shy away. You just dove in. You rode dragons. You went on quests. You chased monsters. That is the world I want to bring back.

Hi! I'm Devin and I love to bring out the creativity in kids as well as the kid in each of us. Whether it is the monster you fight or the one you befriend, I love bringing them into our world to perch on a shoulder a lurk on a desk, wherever the adventure leads them. I also enjoy making items that I sell for grown-ups, such as jewelry, shadowboxes, and custom paper sculptures. My crafts are inspired by Steampunk style, Renaissance style, the cute, fun, playful, and even the mysterious and the weird.

I also teach children's craft workshops and do children's parties, teaching and making whatever animal or beastie anyone can think of. I will come to your party or event, and bring a creative time your children will enjoy. I am most often a Renaissance artisan or a pirate, but if you can imagine it, I can arrive dressed in it. If you are in the greater surrounding Phoenix, Arizona area, please contact me and let me show you how fun wire twisting can be. It's like a balloon animal your kids can actually keep. I look forward to sharing my creations with you!

OH. MY. GOD. I LOVE IT!!!!!!! More awesome than I could have even imagined. Please let me know what I owe you, and if you will do me more, I will pay you for any and all. I want your art all over my game. They are literally the most awesome ever! Again, please let me know what you would like me to put in your bio in the game credits. I should be done with everything in about 2 and a half weeks; I am debuting it at a show on Nov. 19th. Will send you a full copy around that time, let me know if you would like any extras for friends.

YOU ROCK!
thank you soooooo much!
