I thought it would still be worth it toshare these

Hi! I'm Mel Schroeder, a freelance Illustrator and college grade Concept Art teacher to animation students.

I have a degree in Animation and Digital Arts and I've worked on all sorts of Illustration and children book collaborations as well as covers and editorial pieces.

I live with my husband, our three beautiful dogs (German Shepherds Kala and Porthos and our Rough Collie Pan) and a chubby squirrel (Totoro).

I've been moved by art and literature since I can remember, my favorite books are the ones which make you travel to whimsical worlds so good that you forget real life for a while.

A few years ago, I started working on a potential client’s short story book characters.
The plan was to make illustrations for the whole book. I’m not quite sure what
happened, but the client’s interest in the project started dimming, and then one day it
was gone.
I kept these two as a reminder that not everything always goes as planned, but
sometimes we’re left with treasures from those experiences.
