My Story

I’m a Freelance Artist/Designer and have been working independently with clients since 2008. My art drawing style is heavily influenced by the Japanese Kawaii culture and Harajuku street style. Some of my works have been featured in books such as “How to Draw Kawaii” by Chris Hart, and on TV shows such as MTV/Netflix’s “Teen Wolf”.

I offer character or mascot designs, logo designs and full kawaii branding packages. I also do modern and minimalistic branding packages as well.

About SugarOverkill

SugarOverkill came alive in 2008 as the brainchild of character designer Michele Liza. Originally intended to be sold only on merchandise offered by Zazzle, the cute and dark brand’s increasing popularity has turned it into a growing design studio creating characters and illustrations for a wide array of media – worldwide. A number of which have been highlighted on books, and fashioned as tattoos, apparel, accessories and more.

The name comes from two combined words, “Sugar” referring to all things sweet, cute, bright and colorful and “Overkill” meaning overdose and exaggerated. The art depicts characters that are too cute that they have gone bad…or at least their attempt to be.
