Welcome! I hope you'll find a little something here that will help light the darkness, whether it's for you or a friend!

I usually hand-letter designs w/ a pencil, then move into a pen sketch, & end with a digital file before going to print.
-
It's not unusual to find me with a cup of coffee in hand surrounded by my creative chaos...
-
I love my studio, but I'm often at the dining table w/coffee in hand to soak in the light & keep an eye on the minions.

My favorite part? Shipping out these beauties to all y'all!
Light the darkness!
"The purpose of art is nothing less than the upliftment of the human spirit.' ~ St. John Paul II
One of the images of my father etched into my memory is of him with a camera around his neck. He was a seasoned amateur, and he loved capturing the moments of our lives, no matter the fuss my mom put up. She hates having her picture taken.
From there, I developed a love of film photography. I loved the mechanics of a camera, the click of the shutter, the accidental effects of double exposure - everything. Sadly, it was not a love that was pursued for a long time as I sought after more gainful education and employment. If I had it to do all over again, I would have definitely indulged my creative side with more formal instruction.
In this station of life, I am aspiring to become a "seasoned amateur" like my dad before me, both in photography and other art forms, primarily digital design, watercolor, and hand-lettering/calligraphy. With the advent of "the YouTube" and online seminars, I am learning as I go, in photography and in other art forms. Rakstar Designs originally began as a photography studio, but has since evolved as my adventures in the creative process ebb and flow their way through time and space.
Thank you for taking the time to see a part of my heart poured out in my work.
