This Malta-Based Illustrator Is Wowing The Island With Her Quirky And Cute Creations
Anna Jreisat is an Italian illustrator based in Malta. She’s been living here since 2015 and this girl’s been making waves with her fresh designs ever since.
Her fresh style and quirky and surreal designs which will pull you into a world of weird and cute characters. Her techniques vary from simple coloured pencil drawings to more elaborate illustrations on photos.
Anna’s been delving into the world of design since she was in college, however we’re not sure exactly when that was as when we asked her for her age her reply was a relatively strange one. “Nobody knows exactly how old I am, you’d have to chop me in a half with saw and count the rings, like a tree,” Anna told Lovin Malta.
“I studied design and I really enjoy making stuff, and illustrations can convey so much,” she said.
“It’s not like I have a calling or anything, it’s just a way to escape in my own little world,” she said.
Apart from doing crazy-cute illustrations, Anna also delves in the world of celebrity comic strips. This gal also does one-pane comics titled Celebrity Slams in collaboration with Mark Bailey, who writes the short poetry featured in the panes.
They are pretty much an ode to celebrities on their birthdays. And they’re stingy and funny AF.
“I’m inspired by all the amazing illustrations I see, and I also want to make beautiful stuff,” Anna said.
