I'm A Children's Illustrator With OCD Who Loves Cats, And Is Banned From Buying Nutella

My name is MacKenzie Haley. I'm an illustrator who draws farting dragons (among other things) and lives in Louisville, KY. I have a problem with Nutella, as in, I'm-not-allowed-to-buy-it-anymore-because-I'll-consume-an-entire-jar-in-under-four-hours-with-a-bag-of-mini-pretzels kind of problem. I simply can't be trusted with it. Aside from that, my vices are pretty harmless; cat shirts, tiny objects, fake food, horror movies, and pretty much anything cute. I thought my artwork might be right up your readers' alley; it's colorful, pretty darn cute, humorous at times, includes a lot of cats, and tries to empower women and girls. I enjoy experimenting with light and color, and am continually pushing myself to grow as an artist.

I've recently been selected as a winner in two competitions on grafolio.com. I also run a personal blog called OMG I Have OCD. This is because, as you probably guessed, I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (pretty severely), and I wanted to reach out to people struggling with mental health issues to let them know they aren't alone. I tackle some serious topics, but try to approach things with humor, as I think that's one of the most effective ways to handle the hard bits of life. If my blog reaches even just one viewer and makes a healthy impact on them, well, that's success to me.
