Cover Art – Renee Melia

New Content, #33 HYPE, #33 Art & Comics / By Renee Melia

Renee Melia is a Perth-based illustrator who loves creating curious characters and playing with bold colour combinations.

Image is a hand-drawn illustration of a person standing on a dark green background. They are wearing bright orange pants, a navy blue top with lilac crosses on it, green boots, and have a large crop of bouncy black hair that sits just above their shoulders, with a light green bow on the left side. They are wearing bright blush and blue eyeshadow. The person is blowing into a light green horn – that’s long and looped over, swirling in a surreal way. Colourful abstract shapes are pouring out of the end of the horn—in shades of pink, lilac, orange, navy, yellow, orange, and peach. The shapes float around the edges of the drawing; there is a feeling of playfulness and joy.
