About quirky burp illustrations & the artist behind it

My name is Shayna, or Shay for short. I am the owner and artist behind quirky burp illustrations. I started quirky burp at the beginning of 2020, and it basically began as a catalog of things I love— animals doing human activities, Dwight Schrute from The Office, and vegan-centric pins. I drew designs that would make me smile, laugh, or turn a sour situation into something kind of sweet. I wanted my brand to be a place people could turn to for a consistent chuckle, see themselves represented through my queer designs, or feel connected to their important people through my custom artwork offerings. I have an energetic and deep appreciation for life, and my art has become my way of showcasing this love while helping others feel it too. 

I graduated from Framingham State University in 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Arts and a concentration in Illustration. My portraiture has been shown at several New England based galleries including The Copley Society of Art in downtown Boston, and The Spring Bull Gallery in Newport, RI. In the spring of 2022, a children's book I illustrated for a client was published, called Ballerina Bright Finds Her Voice. Then, in the summer of 2022 I moved from outer Boston, Massachusetts to Campbell, California where I currently reside. I have sold artwork to customers all across the states, as well as numerous retail shops worldwide.

I’m so grateful and ecstatic to be doing what I do, and I can’t thank you enough for supporting my business!
