About me
I’m Eliise, an Estonian illustrator currently based in London, who primarily works in publishing and children’s books. My mediums range from digital collage and animation, to coloured pencils and 3D. The influence of vintage aesthetics and detail to traditional medium textures is seen throughout my work. I am often inspired by my personal collection of various vintage ephemera, poetry and illustrated children’s books. I am and always have been passionate about storytelling.
