Mysty Alexander

Mysty is a 21-year-old illustrator and author based in The Netherlands. She specializes in character-based art but is not afraid to step out of her comfort zone, with a minor in Creative Writing, and an upcoming Bachelor’s degree in Illustration & Animation makes Mysty perfectly qualified to make your art dreams come true.

Mysty’s art is character-based. She likes to explore different genres from fantasy, sci-fi, to regular slice of life within her works.

She finds representation something wonderful and important, hence why she prides herself in featuring characters that are: LGBTQIA+, POC, and characters that deal with mental health issues. It is important that people see themselves represented on their screens, and the reactions it invokes when they can identify themselves within a character, is incredibly valuable to her. She feels like everyone deserves to feel appreciated and loved no matter what their struggles or identities are.

It’s about belonging to something…

As an illustrator and an author, Mysty also values the art of storytelling through both visuals and words. She has no problem combining the two mediums to create a unique narrative.

She has dabbled in both mediums extensively, she creates illustrations on an almost daily basis and has even published a book under the name Mysty Alexander with plans of doing so much more.

…To tell new stories

Her debut book, Aurelio, is now available to be read in both English & Dutch on Kobo.
