Mexican-American illustrator / designer born and raised in sunny Los Angeles. Online, Jess Martinez embraces the pseudonym Scion Illustration. “Scion,” meaning a young shoot or twig used in grafting, mirrors my creative process where she meticulously brings together several design inspirations. She is particularly attracted to the allure of natural and botanical motifs paired with vintage, yet refreshing color palettes.

Jess’ passion extends across various realms of publishing, from crafting book covers and illustrating children’s books to consumer products and pattern design.

I am an Asian-American artist and Los Angeles native inspired by nature, stories, and observed life. My slice-of-life artworks are often inspired by specific locales and use reference images I make while on-site.  I’m fascinated with Southern California and enjoy the challenge of capturing its rich diversity in drawings, paintings, and photographs.
