    For the past decade I have been working as a freelance artist and designer. Most of my work has been with bands or touring artists creating album covers, posters, and shirt designs but I have also created logos, book illustrations, and character designs as well. I have a passion for traditional drawing but I am an expert with Photoshop and am very comfortable with other digital design programs. I love children's books and comics and can draw or paint comfortably in a variety of styles.

    I have been building my experience and portfolio for over 15 years now. I have done many things including tattoo designs, paintings, children's books, murals, promotional materials and character/creature design. Though I have done many kinds of art, I have narrowed my field to Digital Illustration, especially my work in Fantasy and Cyberpunk areas. Though not college educated, I have dedicated my life to the study of art and taught myself incessantly, and will continue to do so.

    I'm an illustrator who loves the storytelling aspect of artwork. I have a fresh, bright, whimsical style and I enjoy bringing expressive, diverse, and endearing characters to life. I've worked with with self-published authors and traditional publishers. You can browse my portfolio below, or you can find more of my work on my website MelissaLettisArt.com I take deadlines seriously and prioritize clear communication. I communicate frequently with clients so the final product can meet or exceed the original vision. I typically send drafts in the early stages of illustrations, in the middle, and a final pass on the finished piece to make the required adjustments as we go. I have experience with illustration, layout design, character design, book covers, and much more. I grew up in Alaska, studied music and creative writing at the University of Puget Sound, and spent a year in Buenos Aires. I now lives in Pennsylvania where I drink absurd amounts of tea and work on my own picture books as an author/illustrator.

    Hello and thank you for reading my profile! I'm fluent in English and I've been writing since I was very young. Through my teenage years, I spent weeks at a time mastering Photoshop, gaining most of my skill from "professional pictures" created to add realism to the virtual horses on Horseland.com (RIP). I am an author on softwarehow.com, currently working part time with disabled clients, and write for two YouTube channels, although I've written for more websites as well. One YT channel is fictional stories of infidelity that end with hopeful advice, and the second is movie recaps. I enjoy writing scripts, content, creative stories, speeches, articles, reviews, walking-tours, and ghost stories. I love using Photoshop and am looking for graphic design employment. I've designed my own cartoon characters and their environments, all on Photoshop with the help of blank puppets to make it compatible with Character Animator. I can also do copy-editing, proofreading, and simply provide feedback. I love working with other people and communicating with them to discover their goals, desires, or expectations. I am passionate about writing, graphic design, sewing, cooking, speaking, teaching, and learning. My career on UpWork is just beginning. I'll always be sure to respond in a timely manner.

I have collaborated with Mr. Baldaccini for over a year, with a book project where he was my illustrator. I have found Mr. Baldaccini to be engaging and passionate about his work. Mr. Baldaccini has brought my ideas and characters to life! His vibrant colors and distinct creative drawings have continually impressed me throughout my time working with him. Mr. Baldaccini has always been willing and able to adjust the colors and characters as we continued to modify and adapt my characters accordingly. Throughout this process, Mr. Baldaccini has taken the time to incorporate my suggestions and changes to his initial sketches and drawings. In return, the final product that we collaborated on, has brought my vision to life! I highly recommend Mr. Baldaccini as an illustrator, as his passion and desire to succeed will be evident with every interaction.
