<\/div>\nJude Melling is freelance illustrator from England, UK. The son of Ged Melling, the periodical cartoonist and artist; known as much for his contributions to Private Eye and The Daily Telegraph, as for his struggle with Bi-Polar Depression . <\/p>\n
Jude has been drawing since he was four, but upon failing his A-Level art exam in 1989 illustration became little more than a hobby untill March 2004. It was then that a friend asked him to illustrate a powerpoint presentation. The presentation won a lucrative contract and Jude was payed handsomely. This lead to a trickle of other freelance commissions and the birth of his illustration company “chewedmelon…” <\/p>\n
Jude went part-time as an illustrator in september 2005, and he lived and worked in his mother’s attic for almost 3 years. He is currently teaching English in San Jose, Costa Rica, while he finishes illustrating a children’s story he has written entitled “Stupid Monkeys – A Cautionary Tale.” Mahmag mostly displayed painted art last year, so in an attempt to diversify we bring a sample of Jude Melling’s graphic art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":550,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/550"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmag.org\/archive-english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
