Meet the Illustrator

Cheyenne Bigham always had a passion for art, from childhood all the way to college where she majored in art at the University of North Georgia. Her interests lie in visual storytelling with graphic novels, animation, stop motion animation, sculpting, puppetry, and illustration. Cheyenne was heavily influenced by the films and TV she grew up with, and creators like Jim Henson and Guillermo del Toro. Deciding to pursue her interest outside of education, she started with commission work and slowly built a portfolio of personal and commissioned art. Combining her interest in the unusual, whimsical, and her experiences of living in Georgia and Louisiana, she became more inspired by southern gothic imagery and aesthetics. She used this and her love of the kitschy vintage style in the majority of her art.
