About

Hello again.

I'm a UK based freelance illustrator who goes by the name Elissa. I graduated from the Arts Insitute at Bournemouth in 2008 with a pencil firmly attached to my right hand and i haven't stopped drawing since.

I've just finished writing and illustrating my very first picture book for Macmillan Childrens Books, which stars the lovely Bobwobs Jam and Jelly, and a whole load of other strange creatures.

I also do concept work for animation, greetings cards, plush toys and illustration workshops at schools.

When i'm not thinking up stories or inventing peculiar characters to befriend I'm usually making a cup of tea, buying yet another book or glueing eyes on inanimate objects.

Another thing you should probably know about me is that i am very much afraid of cannibals.
