Hello all, I am Melissa A Benson, an "Alternate Reality" illustrator and fine artist. My artistic style is colorful and realistic.

My black and white work is tight multi-weight grahite and charcoal.

I specialize in anthropomorphic creatures and people in natural and historic settings. I have also done conceptual drawings for commercial clients. There is plenty of decorative art and seasonal art in my portfolio as well. The majority of my work is done in dyes and color pencil. I also work in oils.
