About the Artist

Alexis Martin is a self-taught digital artist born in Flushing, Queens. She lives in the Lower East Side and is currently attending Manhattan Early College of Advertising. She won three awards for her artwork and even had the privilege of showing her work at the Mist Harlem gallery. She won first prize for her “Monsters'' piece when she was in fourth grade at Girls Prep Elementary School. Her inspiration for art started with her dad, who painted a portrait of her which included Alexis’ painted hands as the portrait background.  She loves to create art because she loves telling stories and creating characters. Alexis’ goal is to publish a comic book featuring her own characters and stories. This is her first time working with Creative Art Works Character Design at MECA. Alexis has learned there is a lot more to character design then she originally thought, for example, shapes, shading, and perspectives on a grid wheel.
