Mel Stringer has this very amazing ability to do gritty and cute together.  To do do private and cartoony together.  To do sexy and gross together.  Beautiful and repulsive.  Honest and dreamy.

She is an artist, illustrator and all-round creative being who manages to hone her craft up in the top end.  Yep, she is this cool and lives in Queensland.

 

She opens up her studio for The Vine with this lovely suite of photos of her studio tools and her sketchbooks.

 

Go Mel! Go Girly Pains! Go Perfect Nose Club!
