Just a few flowers I’d put in the “goth section” of my dream garden, alongside gargoyles. I’d probably throw in some Persian shield for foliage, maybe some other dark coleus.

Illustrations by Jade Mere

Jade Mere is a freelance illustrator from Seattle, USA.

I’ve found inspiration in all the common places: watching an epic film, listening to a song as images flash in my head, reading a fantastic book, taking a walk in the woods or along the ocean. I never have a lack of ideas. 

Most of my ideas pop into my head when I’m taking walks and listening to music. I’ll quickly scribble down the idea, and then turn it into a thumbnail. A few weeks later, if the idea still excites me and if I’m able to get a pleasing composition out of it, I’ll make it into a full illustration. I would say that only one out of every twenty ideas makes it into Photoshop and is rendered out.

Now, instead of keeping a physical sketchbook, I keep a digital one. Every morning I start with a warm up sketch, 10-50 minute paintings where I try to get a concept down.
