Mabuhay (Hello!)

Thanks for stopping by. I’m Niki Toney - a visual artist specializing in illustrations, commissions, and live drawing.

Some of my illustration clients include The ACLU of Northern California, LA Times, Eater, Dropout/College Humor, Mosa Mack, and the U.S. Department of State. I have created commissions for individuals for pet portraiture, memorial, wedding invitations and much more! I do live drawings at art events, community events, weddings and other gatherings.

Let's Create Something Fun Together!
