Meet the face behind Dorkichan
“If my art makes you laugh, feel seen, or want to aggressively hug a plushie…
then I know that I’ve done my job“
Introduction
Hi! I’m Davida aka Dorkichan, a self-taught illustrator from Amsterdam creating cute art with a little spice✨
Together with my manager Kirby 🐶 I create colorful illustrations that celebrate self-love, weirdness, emotions, and not taking life too seriously, I also love creating fan art to honor the cartoons I grew up with.
My art is all about embracing your unique self!
I hope my work can make you smile, feel understood, or simply brighten your day a little.
“Drawing has always been my safe space”
Being self-taught means my journey has been full of experimenting, learning things the hard way, and drawing through every phase of life especially the messy ones 🌸
Over time, art became more than just something fun to create. It became a way to express feelings that are difficult to put into words. That’s why many of my illustrations mix mental health awareness with sharp humor, comfort with chaos, and cute characters with painfully relatable emotions ✨
I believe art doesn’t always have to be “perfect” to mean something. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply be honest, weird, emotional, sensitive, loud, awkward, or unapologetically yourself 💕
Together with Kirby 🐶, I want to create a little world where people can laugh at their struggles, feel understood, and maybe feel a little less alone.
Whether you found me through a sticker, print, post, or random late-night internet scroll from the bottom of my heart thank you for being here 🌷
Your support truly means the world to me and allows me to keep creating the things I love every single day ✨
