Not an actual drawing of meHey Hey this is Mel, real life waifu to a lovely husbo named Matt and drawer of squigly lines and dumb looking dogs.
My body of work consists mainly of doodles and artwork generally inspired by stories my boo and I write since we were a pair of dumb kids on the internet.
Since we met on a time where art was not easily scrollable and was instead the perfect little way to capture a moment in a friendship, I've decided to put together this little corner of the interwebs in an attempt to evoke those warm fuzzy feelings of having that art journey organized all neat and tidy, like Auntie Kondo always suggests. Spark some Joy.
Ideally I'll end up filling it with an accesible archive that doubles as a portfolio, with the more gossipy and less professional tidbits conveniently hidden away. It'd be like a little treasure hunt.
My jam is post-apocalyptic settings and forbidden romances.
Updates
24.01.2024: Day 2 of tidying up and I mean it ain't much but it's honest work. I think it looks presentable now but I'm not super pleased with it... those index buttons look like they're gonna topple over if I write too much. (haha! but they can't if I never update the sit- wait no).
23.01.2024: New year new me. Sort of. I've decided I'm just gonna use any pocket of time I have to work on something, so I'm gonna tweak the layout of this site little by little. Gonna keep it more simple and straightforwards so I can feel more welcome to make it about what's in it rather than have too many empty sections (the sidebar looks like... empty? like why is it there it doesn't do shit come on now).
15.07.2023: Added a comic I did a while ago on Art/Flakes just to have a nice n full archive of what that project was meant to be. Also added some Instagram stuff I did on 2020 on Doodles/Hudsibs. I'm not entirely sure I like the way this site is organized so far but I'll jump that bridge when I clearly have so much shit to put in it that it needs a tastier archive.
13.07.2023: The sidebar being inside the big main box was pissing me off because I just can't stop puttin the cute li'l borders on everything and it looked crowded as shit what the fuck is graphic design. Anyway I'm trying to write a little about my darlings and it's really hard, it's like the moment I imagine it all in a layout I'm like "nah I wanna keep it brief what if people get overwhelmingly bored" and it's like, Mel. Honey.
28.06.2023: Had a brainblast and figured yooo I don't need an animation section and an art projects section because most of the big stuff I've done are like, related. Woah. Trying out the layout by sorting out most stuff regarding my thesis film and the big phase I had after I finished where I didn't wanna let it go. It's nice and tight and compact. Scrumptious.
26.06.2023: Adding more stuff because I need my own little site for my own little thoughts more and more recently. Figured this can double as a portfolio and a diary because it's not like I'm looking for Big Pro Work anyways, right?
28.05.2023: The site exists and I didn't take forever to get a layout down so that's quite cute. I had this whole plan of making a very rich animation tab until I noticed there's only a handful of stuff worth showing. But hey: cleaner, precise, compact.
