| I’m Mesha, an Indonesia based illustrator with a knack for turning everyday quirks and complex issues into playful, relatable visuals. My work is all about finding the humor in life’s little moments and transforming serious topics into fun, approachable concepts. Whether it’s a quirky character, a satirical scene, or a whimsical take on a big idea, I love using my art to spark smiles and thoughtful conversations. Inspired by weird shapes, Nickelodeon cartoons, and observational storytelling. I blend bold colors, expressive lines, and a touch of wit to create illustrations that are both eye-catching and meaningful. My goal is to make people laugh, think, and see the world from a slightly different angle. |

Morning Rush
Running on one crumb of sleep and sheer willpower, Si Ayam braves the morning traffic. Eyes half-shut, coffee forgotten, and patience tested by pedestrians who suddenly remember how to cross very slowly. “Morning Rush” captures that sacred daily ritual: sitting in traffic, questioning all life decisions, and pretending this is totally normal.
Working Life
Si Ayam just wants to get some work done, but the office has other plans. Bunnies are in full-blown paper war, someone’s on a mukbang + YouTube combo break, one colleague is bundled up like it’s winter in the Arctic, and another’s deep into their afternoon nap. Meanwhile, the printer’s having a meltdown and launching paper like confetti. “Working Life” is a chaotic salute to every distracted, dysfunctional, but somehow still-running workplace.
Commuting Life
Si Ayam, the professional 9-to-5er who’s mastered the art of balancing his bag, dignity, and existential crisis, all while hanging onto the train handle. Surrounded by equally drained commuters, he wonders: Is it Monday again, or did the weekend just blink? “Commuting Life” is a feather-ruffling tribute to every soul who’s ever questioned life choices between train stops.
Little World
Tucked inside a boy’s handmade ant house is a bustling miniature world, a cozy ant community with stories of its own. Peek inside and you’ll find ants setting the table for dinner, a tiny kindergarten full of giggles, and one hardworking ant balancing sugar while his sleepy friend naps nearby. There’s even a warm little kitchen and a fridge stocked with crumbs. “Little World” is a playful glimpse into the magic of small things, where daily chores become tiny adventures, and friendship makes everything sweeter.
I Got You!
A tiny adventurer with big regrets—this little mouse might have been a bit tooambitious in its snack heist. Capturing the drama of a high-stakes (yet adorable)
moment, this piece plays with expressive storytelling, dynamic composition, and a
touch of humor. Because sometimes, the biggest battles aren’t fought, they’re nibbled.
Ia Micromanagung the Answer?
When bedtime stories are replaced by endless textbooks, and‘lights out’ means ‘study harder.’ This piece humorously
captures the side effects of micromanaged parenting, where
kids are buried under a mountain of books, and sleep is just a
myth. Who needs dreams when you’ve got extra homework
It’s a Celebration
A lively dinner party where the food is plenty, theconversations are animated, and laughter fills the air. With
vibrant, inviting colors and a first person POV, this piece
captures the joy of shared meals and the unspoken rule,
there’s always room for dessert.
Rest
Even the most dedicated tennis buddies turninto besties when it’s time unwind on the
court.
‘Rest’, because winning is great, but so is
lying down and questioning all life choices
XoXo, Gossip Girls
A little gossip, a lot of stories. Because no friendship iscomplete without dramatic storytelling and exaggerated
reactions. This piece uses a dynamic composition with close-
knit characters, expressive gestures, and warm retro tones to
capture the 80’s drama and energy of a good gossip session.
