Meet the Cheese Bee

Greetings! I'm Sofía, a Spanish illustrator & worldbuilder. 
I like to say that I paint because it's cheaper than therapy but truth be told, it's because it brings me peace and comfort. I've always been one of those art kids whose mind can't shut up so drawing became a way to find a creative outlet for that constant daydreaming. 

You can learn about The White Kingdoms Saga here, the crossworld fantasy story that I've been working on since 2009.

Check out my shop for useless yet pretty things like me.

I'm also a paint maker who doesn't use plastic unless it's recycled. Feel free to take a look at my Art Blog if you're curious about pigments and social media shenanigans.

Enter the White Kingdoms' Gates: become a Patron.



This is a blog dedicated to my worldbuilding project The White Kingdoms Saga. Tune in to find articles and stuff about my original characters, lore details and some posts compiling useful worldbuilding resources.
