A big hello to fellow creature aficionados everywhere!

My name is Cassandra Mullens and I’m a character designer and illustrator with a love of all things fantastically monstrous and monstrously fantastical!

Growing up, most of my time was spent doing one of three things: exploring my backyard and local park, reading books, and drawing until my fingers cramped and my pencil caught fire (metaphorically, of course). Animals and mythical creatures have always been mainstays in my work, both naturalistic and anthropomorphized. In fact, the latter shows up quite frequently as I adore making beastly characters with larger than life personalities who can be a source of joy and humor for others. Especially those with an affinity for nature!

I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelors of Arts in Multimedia, Fine Art, and Photography and am currently working as an art instructor in San Diego, California.
