A graduate from the American Academy of Art in Chicago and current student of the Academy of Art University based in San Francisco, illustrator Aaron Melendez takes levity from the hypocrisies in life. With underhanded humor, attention is called to the darker, self absorbing aspects of the human character. Aside from editorial works, Aaron has a profound interest for institutional illustration, being that animal life, science, and history have always intrigued him. More than just a habit, Aaron finds it rewarding to stimulate the brain with extensive subject thought and research. Working primarily in Adobe Photoshop, in addition to any other medium, he continues to further the skills and knowledge to surpass aesthetic preferences. Aaron is a member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators.
