About

Howdy! My name is Sophia, but please, call me Birdy!

I am cartoonist, author, and graphic designer from Nebraska. Currently, my main focus is creating artwork in my own personal style, taking art commissions, and working on my webcomic series, "Chimera Heart." While this is currently only a side hustle at the moment, I really hope to turn this silly little passion into a full-time career someday...

The current state of the Internet is incredibly hostile for artists, from generative AI plaguing image search results to suffocating algorithms reducing our reach. I've been posting my art on the Internet for around a decade now, but there is currently nowhere online for you to view the entirety of my work all in one place. I've hopped from Wattpad and YouTube to Instagram and Twitter to Bluesky, Twitch, and Discord. Being an artist online constantly means having to jump ship and completely rebuild your audience any time a social media goes under or their algorithms change. I aspire for this place to finally be a permanent online home for Birdy's Doodles.

If you're reading this in the website's current state, please understand that this site is VERY much in its infancy. I took one web design class in college and it was at 8:00 AM... I know the basics of design coding, but my skills are definitely rusty. (thank god base codes exist....) Please be patient with me! I am just a little bird who is learning!

For the tech nerds, this website is primarily being coded and designed with a 1920x1080 layout in mind. It is best viewed on a computer in Google Chrome. Most of this website will be coded on a Mac desktop computer, as this is my little project for me to work on while I'm bored at work. However, my personal computers at home run Windows, so some additional tweaks and tests will be performed at home as well.

Oh, and don't worry. This site will be covered in doodles and art. I'm ready to be unapolegetically me.
