Jess Martinez

Jess Martinez, a Mexican-American illustrator and designer from Los Angeles, embraces the pseudonym Scion Illustration. “Scion,” symbolizing a young shoot or twig used in grafting, mirrors Jess’ creative process, where she meticulously brings together various design inspirations. She is particularly attracted to the allure of natural and botanical motifs paired with vintage, yet refreshing color palettes. Her passion extends across various realms of publishing, from crafting book covers and illustrating children’s books to consumer products and pattern design. She finds herself equally drawn to the realm of gallery exhibitions as well.
