Hi #portfolioday ! I create strange and wonderful creatures in watercolor + gouache. Most of my portfolio beasts are from my book-in-progress (2027), but I'm hoping to work for MTG or other publishing projects illustrating strange dudes, faeries, and forest beasts. MelissaSueStanley.com

Fantasy watercolor painting in greens browns and purples. A forest scene, mossy and leafy undergrowth with a pale purple-brown forest in the background. The focus is a snaggly tree trunk creature with glowing yellow eyes, looking at a spider that is spinning out of the tree-creatures head.

Watercolor spot illustration on a white background: A purple, furry creature with gangly-sort of limbs holds a green weed with roots in its little fist. It's looking up at the sky with yellow eyes, and has four sparkly horns growing from its head along with some little green leaves. Cute? Maybe?

A watercolor painting of two strange furry creatures perched on a snow-covered branch. The background is a snowy blue and white. The creatures are singing and are all wrapped up together in a thick red knit scarf.

watercolor painting: The painting is of a tree canopy with strawberry birds perched around it. In the foreground is a large strawberry bird with teeth and jam dripping down onto the branch below.. where a bird appears to be missing.. oh no.

Ohoho, I'm heading to Portland next week for my first convention of the year! On the one hand, I do like to hibernate in my art cave for the winter; on the other hand, Portland is a very short drive away. I always have a good time, raiding their bookstores and food trucks if nothing else!

The Qanik hoodie. Pattern is a Linka Neumann from her Wilderness Knits. This is my first steek and first time using Alafosslopi. Bit like knitting with straw :) I’d forgotten how quick it can be using a 10 needle and bulky. I usually use 4 and fingering sport weight.

Graphic shows the cover of the book THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA plus the words, "Fifty-two different stories, fifty-two different authors, endless fright for all ages." Graphic also shows Kirkus Review saying, "An entertaining, fright-filled geographical tour." Book cover shows a monster face over the steps of the USA's Lincoln Memorial.
