Christa Dippel works under the artist name Defectivepudding, and is a self-taught illustrator and visual artist who has been pursuing art professionally for several years. Her works are primarily created in color pencil, graphite, and digital. Most of her inspiration is drawn from vintage media, toys, and clothes, in addition to a fascination with wildlife and nature as well as Halloween! As a result, many of her pieces have a nostalgically sweet appearance; even while exploring subjects that are melancholy.
