A huge welcome to today’s Creative Crush Diane Faye Zerr, a very talented tattoo-style designer and illustrator. To hear how this original, quirky, fabulous work is created, come and meet Diane: take it away!

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a liking for tattoo art. This lead me to create tattoo-inspired stationery for those looking for something a little more unique!

I’m inspired by so many things. Illustration, art, design, other artists, designers, and illustrators. And my 8-year old son Cody, draws the most imaginative things that keep me going.

I work out of my home studio. It’s 250 sq. ft. pure creativity for me, where I can get anything and everything done.

I love to sketch, and always begin with smaller sketches. Those small sketches and preliminary drawings become my blueprint for a larger drawing which I then ink and scan to take it to the digital file. I love making color choices, and enjoy the finished piece almost more than the initial idea, knowing it’s all come together.

Oh my gosh, you can find me everywhere! Twitter, Dribbble, and Pinterest you can find me as fayeandco. Facebook; My website and blog;  my online shop and Etsy. I’m also a contributor for Handmade in Pa, and Quipsologies. Thanks so much Diane, we love it! Remember, to share your work and your ways, fill out this form and send in some pics.
