About the Artist
I'm Cortney.
Creator. Maker. Hoarder of hobbies.
I've spent most of my life bouncing between creative rabbit holes. Watercolor paintings. Plush aliens. Fantasy worlds. Sculptures. Costumes. Graphic design. Stickers. Film special effects. If it involves making something with my hands (or convincing Photoshop to cooperate), chances are I've probably tried it.
What's a niche?
When I'm not making art, you'll usually find me playing D&D, throwing discs into trees, singing loudly in my car, getting distracted by yet another new hobby, or wondering if I really need to buy that new plant.
(I do not.)
Origin Story
I created Cleody Skye Creations because I needed a place to put all of the things I made.
I've always wanted to make a living with my art, somehow. But like most artists, I obsessed over everything being perfect. I didn't want to show people anything I made or drew or painted. I didn't think it was ever good enough. I never wanted to call myself an "Artist" because that title held too much weight. I wasn't an artist. I just made weird stuff.
Now that I've gotten older, I've decided all my excuses are invalid. I've realized art is a journey, not a destination. And no matter where you are on that journey, someone else is at that same point in theirs. And there is great value in others watching us overcome our struggles. And some of the best art reveals itself in the midst of a 3-day depressive spiral. And some of the darkest clouds have a silver lining.
Some of my favorite projects started as terrible sketches, dumb jokes, or "This is probably a terrible idea..."
Sometimes they were.
Sometimes they became my favorite things I've ever made.
Either way, making them was worth it.
I'm leaning in. And making silver linings.
Current Quest
I'm always working on watercolor and digital art commissions, whatever those might be. But I'm currently working on the disc golf brand Disc Witch. Soon I hope to release a sticker pack, and eventually t-shirts and enamel pins and whatever else I can think of.
