It's a me, FARTSYLEE!

Hello! nice to meet you,
im Sandra!

 I started this creative adventure in an effort to put my illustration and design skills into something that’ll make someone a little happier about the small things. The name FARTSYLEE came about when I was referred to as an “artsy fartsy” person from a close friend growing up. As an homage to my parent’s incredible support of my creative pursuit and my Korean background I included my last name “Lee.” 

Growing up in LA, I found comfort in hand-making immersive illustrative cards for friends and visiting tucked away stationery stores—taking home tiny trinkets that made everyday life colorful and memorable.

My illustrations are based on a mixture of daydreams with bits of nostalgia from my own childhood along with the whimsical day-to-day moments that occur with my cat and toddler. I am also inspired by a variety of children’s book artists and pop culture media including: Richard Scarry, Peter Rabbit, Maplestory, and Studio Ghibli films. I hope to one day make time to publish more stories that everyone can enjoy!
