Hello, my name is Monique, Small is my creative practice.

I’m a San Francisco-based, Miami-born, artist, animator, and illustrator. My work is typically character-driven with a touch of whimsy.

Once upon a time I modeled 3d characters in Maya and worked on VFX for commercials before returning to my illustration roots. I now incorporate those technical skill sets into the work I do today.

Small's focuses are 2d animation, illustration, narrative work, and GIFs. All with a pop of color, bold lines, and even bolder subjects.

Have an idea in mind and would like to discuss it? Get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
