My Why:
I’ve always wanted to leave a mark on the world. Something that would live beyond me, maybe even impact someone's future like how cartoons did for me. Whether it would be with science or art, I always thought I had to leave something. I’ve always tended to live in my head and create my own worlds, this one I so happened to fall in love with. As well as my girlfriend, who has supported me and made sure this dream of mine has come true. She is a big why of mine. She is currently teaching me how to heal my relationship with food and I think that has played a huge role in my comic. I want to show the world the love and care I’ve been shown, though it won’t be enough. I hope, at the very least, my work makes you smile and wonder a little more.

ELLO! My name is Mello, a self-taught digital artist and animator. I’m a 19 year old who has no idea what they’re doing with their life, but I am determined to enjoy life as it comes. I feel like I was just a kid, learning how to use basic shapes to form my ideas, and then I blinked. Now I am here, trying my best to dip my toes into the comic industry. Art is my passion and I would love to share it with the world. I see myself in every person on this earth, even you. Spread love! <3
