“It’s so easy, the madwoman wanted to tell them. Just go mad. Madness and magic are linked, after all. Or I think they are. Every day the world shuffles and bends. Every day I find something shiny in the rubble. Shiny paper. Shiny truth. Shiny magic. Shiny, shiny, shiny.”

Kelly Barnhill, The Girl Who Drank the Moon

 

Hail and well met! As you may have guessed my name is Elliot, and I make art. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember and most of my earliest art was of faries, dragons, mermaids, and magic; as you can see, not much has changed. I’ve never been good at living in the real world, I grew up surrounded by fantasy in the books I read, and movies I watched. I played my first game of Dungeons and Dragons when I was 10 years old. I’m still surrounded by magic, but now some of it is my own.

(p.s. all the characters I draw are queer unless explicitly stated otherwise.)
