I'm the full-time illustrator and author behind Studio MME Illustrations. After graduating from art school, I set out to make a living from my art. It took 5 years of hard work but I made it and now I'm sharing some of my knowledge with people like you. My recent collaborations include Google and Modcloth. When I'm not drawing, I can be found exploring state parks.
