I'm a freelance artist / Illustrator living and working in Nottingham, England, also a graduate of Nottingham Trent University with a BA in Graphic Design. I'm truly happy when I'm drawing, most days I look up from my work to find it's suddenly dark, and the dog has all four legs crossed.

I always start with a pen and sketchbook, and I'm particularly fond of fine-liners at the moment. Inspiration for my work can come from everywhere, friends, music, generally it's the combination of life, bad singing and my colourful imagination.

In 2008 and 09, I exhibited work at the Lace Market Gallery Nottingham. My work has been featured in Booooooom, Urban Collective, Ventilate ca and Illustrophile, and will be on the cover of the 2009 Issue of Contact, New Talent.

I have created images for Zoo York, Popshot Magazine, and Boomerang Media. This month I will be taking part in an exhibition at the Art Works Gallery, Newcastle. For a longer bio please see the information link on my portfolio site.
Many Thanks
Melanie
