Mel Stringer is a Freelance Illustrator and Visual Artist from Brisbane. She uses her pen and paper like a butterfly net to capture and document various things that happen in her life.
She is the author of the comic ‘Girlie Pains’ that appeared in the late RAVE magazine. Often she brings out a new self-published art zine full of her drawings, sketches and writings. She has worked with clients such as Frankie Magazine, Saatchi & Saatchi, Sony, Bonds, HOW Magazine, Finders Keepers, Stone and Wood, Mjolk Clothing, The Big Issue, VICE Magazine, Etsy, Ask Alice Stationery and more.
Mel is inspired by everything kawaii: food, baby animals, fashion, girls, old films, brats, babies, Japan, cooking, pastel colours, new and old cartoons, sisterhood, sassiness, mellow jazz, art zines/comics, sweet things, kooky stuff and whatever is cool.
