What I Do

  • Illustration

    Characters, creatures and worlds built with a point of view. I design original characters and visual concepts rooted in narrative, not decoration.

  • Comics & Narrative

    Sequential storytelling combining illustration and written narrative. I create comics that document real experiences and can bring yours to life.

  • Poster & Print

    Illustration-led poster design built for print. Bold typography, strong concept, limited palette, work that looks as good on a wall as it does on a screen.

    Artist talks and drawing workshops for universities, cultural institutions and French Institutes worldwide.

  • London Eye Sunset by Melbrins

    Move.

    Move is the decision to leave the familiar behind. Through travel, different cultures and unexpected encounters challenge my assumptions and expand the way I see the world.

    The journey isn't my destination, it's the first step of my creative process.

  • Against The Flow by melbrins

    Learn.

    Learn is about making sense of those experiences. I question my assumptions and the way I see the world.

    My comics become a visual journal, capturing the ideas, doubts and lessons that gradually reshape my perspective.

  • Ganda Assez by melbrins

    Adapt.

    Adapt is where those reflections become creation. Rather than illustrating the places I've visited, I create work inspired by how they changed me.

    Every illustration, story and project is an attempt to transform experience into something meaningful that can spark curiosity, conversation or change in someone else.
