My name's Alyssa, also known as lovelandisle on most websites! I love art so much that I try to learn as many different kinds as possible. I draw, animate, sew, paint, 3D model, make indie games, and more...

I live a simple life with my cat, Wander. All he does is sleep and beg me to open more cans for him. He doesn't appreciate how hard I work to feed this family.

If you'd like to see more from me, I recommend following me on social media of your choice (I'm better at updating some of these than others.) Or email me if you'd like to work with me on something!!
