Alex McLeod

Alex is a first-year student working towards a career as an illustrator. Over the past year they have been exploring their art and branching out into new territories. This year they have spent a lot of time exploring themes of femininity and the female body, as well as using art to tackle their own struggles, using their art to express themself.  

Alex is working to become a professional illustrator, character designer, and graphic novel author. Outside of their schoolwork they are inspired by the works of Dana Terrance, the team that worked on Into the Spiderverse, and the artists behind Netflix’s Arcane. While this year has been more about exploration of all kinds of art, going forwards in their career, Alex hopes to create explicitly queer and inclusive characters, like the ones they were missing out on in their childhood
