My name is Audrey Benjaminsen. I am a 19 year old Illustrator/Designer from Rochester Michigan, currently studying Illustration at RCAD in Florida. I draw, I paint, I doodle I sculpt. I’m just a quirky little lady who enjoys her share of whimsy and wit.Tumblr (3.0; @audreybenjaminsen)http://audreybenjaminsen.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4ee88c5cf6c9a66e2c1931c9b91b3c14/tumblr_mogfgmbPuR1rxbv0mo1_r6_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Birds and Bees.
