WHERE WE HAVE BEEN FEATURED
Unique like a narwhal
was made with parents of Special Needs kids in mind! Half of the proceeds of each purchase gets donated directly to a local Early Interventionist who is creating an Early Learning Academy.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Parents who work standard 9-5 jobs don’t always have the capability to take their disabled kids to different therapy locations during working hours. With this Early Learning Academy, all kids can be dropped off
(like daycare) but also get therapy!

Parenting Through Autism: How Our Styles Have Changed
I have been following (Jessie) on instagram fro a couple years, and was so pumped when (she) opened (her) shop and moved to illustrations full time. I appreciate the light you bring to the world.
It has been amazing to work with Jess! She is quick and kind and compassionate!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! purchased our couples illustration around the Christmas holiday and it came out perfect! Do yourself a favor and get your favorite photo illustrated. You will definitely love it!!!
It's unique, it's trending, and if you take the time to research your purchase is going towards something more than just a custom illustration. Customer service is friendly and the communication to get you what you're looking for is on point. I highly recommend Momma Lips Draws and her services!
