about
Melissa — known online as i3stars — is a self-taught digital artist from New York and a proud single mother to her two-year-old son. Her art is inspired by anime, manhwa, and anything magical, emotional, or just a little unhinged.
She specializes in digital art and enjoys creating heartfelt, funny, romantic, or bold pieces that carry real intention and care. Whether you're looking for something sweet and personal, flirty and fun, or wildly imaginative — Melissa brings it to life with love.
Art is not just her passion, but a way to support herself and her son while doing what she loves.
