Hi Miss Cupcake

If you're in the Atlanta area, check out @pawsatlanta this weekend! This is the last weekend of "BARKTOBER" and you can adopt any furry friend, with lots of goodies! You'll also get a chance to win an 8x10 family portrait with your newly adopted pet from me—@himisscupcake! Who or what is your inspiration? My dog, Lucky has been my inspiration through my journey as an artist and I believe that there is nothing more beautiful than the unconditional bond between a pet and their owner. This is why I draw pet portraits—to celebrate the love of animals. #InstaTideChallenge #meettheartist #lifeofanartist #illustrationoftheday #dogselfie #dogportrait #petportrait (at PAWS Atlanta)

“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” - Vincent van Gogh Something so simple yet so hard! I learn so much from working with newlyweds they start their new family. So much love, so much happiness, so much bliss 💕 I’m so honored that my illustrations can give extra delight in their new chapter in life 🎁✨ Here’s a recent wedding portrait I did for a lovely couple 😊💝 #InstaTideChallenge #weddingportrait #meettheartist #lifeofanartist #illustrationoftheday

Ohhhh you bake me crazy! 😍😍😍 Share this with someone who "bakes you crazy" 😉💕 #youbakemecrazy #himisscupcake #illustrationoftheday #illustrationgram

For today’s #InstaTideChallenge, I’m sharing my morning routine. Ohhhh my mornings don’t start without a coffee and a quick breakfast. I get hangry the minute I open my eyes, so I feed myself first thing in the morning! Then I dive right into my todo list that I wrote up the night before. #neverendingtodolist. Most days, I start out by sketching/painting 🎨—other days, I start my day with packaging orders 📦 Sometimes I make a mess because I drink paint water instead of my coffee. No—it’s not on purpose 🙈 #artistproblems I love having something on in the background: youtube videos, tv shows, podcasts and audiobook. What are you currently listening to or watching? #meettheartist #lifeofanartist

Ok.. so I decided to attempt this #InstaTideChallenge by @risingtidesociety! I know I have to take a photograph of myself but I’m a bit shy so I decided to draw myself instead 🙈 1. Hi! I'm Grace, aka Miss Cupcake. I’m a freelance illustrator, designer and a recent coffee addict. I love creating things in darling and delightful style. 2. I began by designing my first product in memory of my dog—Lucky, a furry little bichon frise. (Shhh—between you & me, he’s my personal therapist, art & spiritual director behind Hi Miss Cupcake!) BTW, I recently partnered with a local no-kill animal shelter for a special giveaway (custom family portrait drawn by yours truly). If you’re in the Atlanta area, go check out @pawsatlanta for your furry companion. 3. I have the travel bug—I literally spend all my vacation days traveling. Most times I need a vacation from my vacation. 4. I like to think that I am multilingual. But then again a huuuuge reality check when I was in France and got “Bonjour” and “Merci” mixed up. 5. I love collecting craft supplies—and just stare at them. My pantry resembles Michaels. But somehow I always end up finding more stuff I “need”. Enough about me—now tell me something about you! Be sure to tell me your favorite movie as well :) #MakeWavesMonday #meettheartist #illustrationgram #illustrationoftheday

Hi! I'm Buddy. I'm the buddy that my friend Ringo talked about yesterday. Ringo and I have been living together for 3 years but we fought everyday. Last week, I helped Ringo hide a stash of Qtips and became BFFs. Today, he helped me find my favorite toy—my sister Jess' socks and her teddy bear. #dogsandpals #petportrait

Hi! I'm Ringo! 😺👋🏻 I spend my day playing with my pal Buddy. I like to play with Q-tips and shoelaces. My mom doesn't like it when I use the entire box of Qtips so I have a secret stash hidden behind the flower pot 😼 #illustrationontheday #petportrait
