Original DIY Illustrations — The Home Improvement Art SkippityWhistles

The original digital home improvement illustrations behind SkippityWhistles live here. Tools being used incorrectly by confident people. Hardware store moments that Ron Screwstrip knows all too well. These are DIY blog illustrations created post by post for a home improvement site that believes you can do this — and that the journey there is worth illustrating. Original DIY art, tool illustrations, and a visual voice built for the home improvement beginner.
