I love the colorful work of Mel Stringer, an illustrator and visual artist based in Australia. She emailed me a couple of weeks back and her name sounded real familiar, so I dug out a few old copies of Frankie magazine and it turned out that I was right — she was the illustrator behind some of my favorite spreads in the magazine!
She has an Etsy shop where she sells zines, prints and stickers called Girlie Pains and not only can she draw, but she makes these cute little felt characters as well (available over at her other Etsy shop, Sweet Little Felt). And I just read that she’s experimenting with ceramics too — she’s one crafty person, that’s for sure!
Yay!! Mel is one of my favourite ever illustrators. I love her work so very much, and she’s such a lovely person too. I’m so pleased to see her on Pikaland Amy, I think we share an art-brain!! xox
