My name is Cardinal Cusack and I am a Chicago-based freelance illustrator who loves creating all things cute, colorful, and fun! My work often celebrates animals and nature, comforting aesthetics, yummy foods, and queer joy.

I graduated in 2020 from Columbia College Chicago with an illustration BA and a fiction writing minor.

Some of my interests include:

• dungeons & dragons
• video & board games
• animated tv & films
• traveling with my mama
• trying new foods
• thinking about pokemon

I live and work out of my apartment slash art studio with my kitty companion, Paris.
