About

Hello! I’m Noah, a west coast creative with a passion for creating beautiful things.

I'm constantly exploring new creative pathways through hobbies and passion projects, each one fueling my love for storytelling and visual design. Through experimentation and growth, I'm honing my skills with the goal of building a career in children's book illustration and publication design—bringing stories to life through vibrant imagery and thoughtful layouts that inspire both young and experienced readers alike.

Brown Bear Press is my art shop dedicated to bringing a bit more sweetness into the world. I’m inspired by cartoons, queer femme culture, and the beauty of the natural world.

Interested in working together? I’d love to hear from you! I’m currently looking for art market and retail stockist opportunities, as well as freelance graphic design and illustration gigs! My design portfolio is available to view here.

If you’d like to further support my art journey, please feel free to browse my social media listed below. Thanks for visiting!

FAQ's

What's your return policy?

Returns operate on a case by case basis. Please fill out a general contact form here explaining the situation and we can sort it out. <3

Do you ship internationally?

I can currently only offer U.S. shipping, but I'm working on a third party platform that will allow for me to provide worldwide shipping. I'll be announcing this on my social media and newsletter as soon as its sorted, so follow along!

Are all the stickers waterproof?

Yes, each sticker listed has been verified by the manufacturers and tested by me to be waterproof. Bumper Stickers are specifically more durable to weather and wear.

What the hell is risograph?

Risographs are quirky printers from the 80s that have gone through a redemption arch in the modern comix and art scene. Artists are specifically drawn to riso printing for its ability to layer colors and utilize flourescent inks that the typical digital printer cannot achieve. It uses a stencil making method similar to screen printing, where colors are seperated by layers. This process makes room for quirks of slight misregistration, color overlapping, and grainy textures that makes each print its own unique work of art. It's one odd, yet charming machine!

Riso ink got on my hands! Help!!

Nothing to worry about—Risograph ink is safe and easy to wash off. The ink sits atop the paper rather than soaking into the fibers, allowing for its full fluorescence but sometimes causing it to rub off onto other surfaces. Its suggested to take care when handling a risograph work and try to avoid rubbing. If ink does smudge, its easily fixed with a pencil eraser. :-)
