Mushroom Girls

In 2022 I took part in an art challenge called Funguary, during which I drew a mushroom per day following a list of Fungi species. It was the most satisfying challenge I ever took part in!



Film Splitters

In 2011, a couple of friends, my husband and I came up with a game called Film Splitters. The rule was to mix two or more film titles up, creating a unique film idea. We had some pretty cool film names and, ten years later, I decided to create posters for a couple of them. I think I might make some more soon!



Spooky cute

I love making spooky cute illustrations, so I tend to take part in art challenges that show up around Halloween. Here are some of my favourite ones.



Rock n’ Roll muses

Rock is life and women are awesome. So I decided to pay homage to these two goddesses.


Same Bath Different

Same Bath Different was written with the intent of introducing philosophical thought to children. Inspired by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus, who said “no man ever steps into the same river twice”, the book tells the story of a little boy learning he can never have the same bath twice either. It is a story for children of approximately 3-8 years of age, which proves that philosophy can be taught in a light and entertaining manner.Written by Melissa Mussak & illustrated by André Ducci.Also available in Dutch.ISBN: 9789083159003
