Hello!I'm Melisma, a mexican illustrator, editorial designer, hobbyist writter and endlessly-curious person.I've illustrated one children poetry book, made pieces for art magazines, participated in collective projects with artists from around the world, given workshops and participated in workshops by other artists.My inspiration comes from nature. Plants, animals, women and children, which I like to mix up to create fantastic creatures and whimsical worlds. My main technique is digital, but I aim for an organic look, with imperfect lines and natural textures.

IllustratorFondo Editorial Tierra Adentro 2016 - 2017MexicoFor the X anniversary of the book "Poor Mr X" by mexican poet Ricardo Castillo, cultural magazine Tierra Adentro invited me and other artists to create an homage on its issue 217, in which we celebrated Ricardo's work with poems, essays and visual art. I chose to illustrate "Reflections from the inordinate length of feet", a poem so intriguing, deep and absurd at the same time it inevitably brings all kind of fascinating mental imagery when I read it. It gives us a brief insight into a family of very tall people (kilometers tall) with extremely long feet who "take everything calmly", including things like "my sock is torn", "I swallowed a fly" and "we're all going to die". After a long and fun process of conceptualization, character design, and thumbnailing where I explored diverse options to illustrate this unique family, I chose to portray them as trees, their roots being the long feet the title refers to, and their calmness towards their surroundings, own existence and mortality represented by one healthy tree with a swing (a symbol of childhood, life and future) on one of its branches, surrounded by a burning tree and a tree that's already dead. I used a neutral background to make the family of trees the focus of the picture and to show both their loneliness and their togetherness as a family.Later in 2016 this piece was chosen to illustrate the cover of the book "O reguero de hormigas" by mexican writer, professor and activist Yolanda Segura, which was distributed by publishing fund Tierra Adentro.
