My favorite sans serif fonts! As someone who is dyslexic and occasionally has trouble reading certain fonts, I'm a big fan of picking for accessibility. These are proof that accessibility doesn't have to be boring. What are your favorite sans serif fonts?

My illustration, art, and design takes time, energy, and support, and I need your help! I’ve set a goal to help me keep creating, and I’d love for you to be part of it. https://ko-fi.com/ambrcrtv/goal #KofiPromoteChallenge

I don't know about you, but I have to physically write things down when planning most things, including social media. This is a template on my shop and Etsy! Check it out at the link in my bio!

It's finally springtime! I need to get to illustrating more flowers. What's your favorite flower? Mine are coneflowers. They like a little umbrella with petals.

I've been watching a lot of @elliedashie the last couple of days, and it made me want to illustrate Jane Austen. This was fun. Want to see more of my work? Check it out here: https://www.amberhelsel.com/ #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #janeausten #janeaustenfan #art #illustration #illustrator

I work at a coffee shop now, and I love smelling like coffee all the time.

I am an artist because I make art. My art may not impress someone from the Renaissance Era, but they're not my audience anyway. Read more of my thoughts on the subjectivity of art here: https://www.amberhelsel.com/blog/the-subjectivity-of-art-or-how-i-decided-to-start-calling-myself-an-artist

"Waffles are like pancakes with syrup traps." —Mitch Hedberg

I'll be honest: I like waffles better than pancakes. I'll eat both and love them both, but if I had to choose, waffles all the way. How about you? Which do you prefer?

Did anyone else see the eclipse last night? I'm so tired, but this was worth it 😮‍💨

Happy Friday! Here’s a fun little illustration I made to wrap up the week. What’s everyone working on? #FridayFeels #graphicdesign #illustration

Which one do you prefer? I'm partial to the first one, but I live for pink, blue, and purple color schemes.

Are you really an illustrator if you don't have at least one item with your art on it? This case came out so awesome! Want your very own illustration by me? Check out more of my work here: https://www.amberhelsel.com/storee #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #illustration #illustrator

Some recent work. These projects for Girls Inc. of Bristol, My Happy Dance Bakery, and Junior League San Antonio were so much fun, and they were awesome to work with.
