about me

hello, I’m laura, and I can’t draw. Well, that’s what I tend to tell myself - but I’m trying to get better, at the drawing... and the way I talk to myself too, I guess.

​

Here’s 10 things about me, @laura_cant_draw, so I don’t have to write a proper bio:

 

1. I’m a self-taught artist, and love to doodle.

2. I have Tourette Syndrome, with a bit of anxiety mixed in too. a winning combination! a lot of my art is influenced by this and my day-to-day life. 

3. I still love to write with pen and paper. There’s no better feeling than starting a new notepad.

4. Whilst my art style is using bright colours, my wardrobe is almost entirely black. I’m not sure why this is, probably one to dissect with my therapist?

5. I enjoy a good pun, so sorry in advance, you’ll see these crop up in my designs a lot.

6. Music is a huge influence for me, a lot of my earliest work is inspired by 00's Pop Punk lyrics.

7. I cry, a lot. If I’m happy, if I’m sad. If I'm anxious or excited. I feel my feelings, hard.

8. I love sending post, and spend hours choosing the perfect cards or gifts for friends or family.

9. I’m a big fan of the The Simpsons, and can pretty much quote the first 10 seasons from memory.

10. I live and work in London, UK, and when I’m not doodling or creating, I work in brand marketing.
