About me

AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOM ILLUSTRATIONS AND MORE. Contact: studio@susieek.com I am an illustrator and graphic artist based in London, UK. Instagram: @susieekavanagh Website: www.susieek.com My creative career started in 2018, in Edinburgh, UK, as an illustrator and graphic designer, working mainly for musicians and bands. In 2019, taking inspiration from dreams and nightmares, I started diving into the lands of silent visual novels, releasing 'Of Masks And Ghosts' in 2019 and 'LVCID' in 2020. My latest personal project, under the name of Studio Kavanagh, has to do with animation and gaming. My work was featured on Cake, Creative Edinburgh, JaamZin, Love Letters, Supersonic, and more.
