I’m Stacey Combs, AKA stace of spades, a freelance illustrator & surface designer living in South Minneapolis. I enjoy food, music, travel, and long walks on the beach (or MN State Park Trails). Most of the time I work while listening to classical renditions of video game soundtracks. 

The more I art that I make, the more I want to make (functional) art that I would've coveted as a kid. I've always loved stationery, crafting, decorating notes, and organizing. Writing people letters and giving gifts are really special things. So is making art that inspires creativity in kids- whether they're young or just young-at-heart!

I make a ton of pop art, but I also follow my heart and paint realistic portraits of things like wet peaches and cans of beer. I just try to have fun with it all, and I hope others do, too! We deserve to smile and have pretty artwork in our lives. 

Check out the events page and come see me in person! You can also visit my portfolio, Patreon, and Instagram to learn a little more about what I do!
