I co-host the Ask Mel & Maddy segment with my friend and fellow creative Maddy Vian.

Ask Mel & Maddy

Triangulos

Cartoon animals with geometric shapes for heads, one holding a guitar and the other with a phone, having a conversation about showing something they're proud of. The animal with a pink shape head says, 'Hey, can I show you something I'm really proud of?' and the one with a blue shape head responds, 'Sorry, I'm busy doomscrolling.'

I created a little character called Triangulos back in 2011 and I recently revived it. I have so much fun depicting little life moments through it! It’s mostly heartfelt but I like to think it’s funny as well.
