Narita Sargees
I’m an Assyrian illustrator in the GTA who loves hue, saturation, AND brightness. I’m inspired by toys, simple playful aesthetics, and impressionist paintings. Although I create mostly digital work, I also love to get crafty and tactile with traditional media like felt, crayons, and found objects.
Outside of art, I’m a big fan of furbies, rodents, and truthful t-shirts.
