Have you ever seen that kid in the crowded restaurant with markers and paper, drawing like they're the only one in the room (rather than a very loud crowded restaurant)? Well that was (and to a great extent, still is) Kalie Stanton. In day to day life, Kalie loves to make people smile and that love carries itself into her art. If someone smiles in reaction to her art, her mission has been achieved.

The goal in much of the artwork in this shop to simply to create work that produces a smile.

When Kalie was a little girl, she was called "Kalie Kit-Kat-Batgirl" because of her love of Batman. That love of comics and nerd culture continues to this day which you can see in many of her illustrations. She also has a great love of animals and loves to give them a personality in her drawings. Growing up, Kalie was inspired by her mother who many have described as a strong trailblazer. This influence shows itself in her creations, depicting strong women, and women surpassing gender expectations.

In 2016 Kalie was given the chance to pursue her love of drawing full time in the form of running her own business, selling her illustrations and creating custom work for clients. It is because this shop is the culmination of Kalie's dream, it will deliver designs and generate future illustrations that help Kalie acheive her goal. To make you smile.
