Grisel MirandaGrisel was born in Argentina but she grew up in Barcelona, in Spain, for most of her life. Her passion for music and her sound engineering job took her to London in 2010, but it wasn't until she reached Scotland when she decided to use her artistic visual skills to pursue her dream of becoming an illustrator and character designer. The journey wasn't easy and straight forward as she was rejected by 3 different Scottish universities. However, this took her to qualify in Art and Design in Animation in 2018. After that she decided to take a leap of faith and set up her own business. She opened the doors of her first Illustration studio shop in Glasgow and, with lots of determination and hard work, she started working as a self employed illustrator and character designer.Now, Grisel is well stablished in a small village in Angus, North East of Scotland, where she has started a family and continued with her business opening up her beautiful and inspiring studio shop 'The Art Shed', a creative gift shop featuring her artwork as well as other 8 local talented artists' work. The Pile of Rubbish has been Grisel 's first project at the Art Shed.Grisel applied for the job position as an illustrator that Sandra posted back in October 2020 and she fell in love with Ulises' story. Additionally, Sandra and her instantly connected quite well and taking the job was an easy decision for her. Grisel could have done the Pile of Rubbish completely digitally, but she decided to challenge herself to a large size traditional acrylic painting for each of the pages, using very little digital touches. She managed do this within the initially stablished deadline in spite of having to juggle all this with her new born baby and her business the Art Shed shop. Read More Read Less
