silly little art by
⫷║DEAD80S║⫸

i draw cartoons, and also other things!

The name's Arcade! I'm a 26 year old artist from NY State.My direction is primarily character-focused pieces, but I'm pretty multipurpose. I also have a knack for graphic design, logo creation, and creative hand-lettering. My stuff is usually within the realm of harsh lines, vivid colours against black (think blacklight/UV posters), and anything with a glow to it! I also really love doing meme and image redraws.Besides digital art, I also make silly paper collage buttons, which you can check out here!
