E L I Z A B E T H N E I L

As of late 2004, I am an undergraduate studying Illustration and Religious Studies. This means I spend a great deal of time drinking caffeine and staying up late to hurry either a) an unfinished still life, or b) a rather unresearched essay.

Other projects beyond Harry Potter fanart, completing my degree, and internet addiction include the study of and conversion to Judaism, working on a collection of as-yet unpublished poetry and a novella, submitting to poetry contests, and working odd jobs around the city.

Of things that can be claimed with any pride, I am an alumna of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp art program, third place winner of the 2004 Albion College High School Poetry Contest, former Submissions Editor of the GHS literary magazine, Castle in the Fishbowl, and a damn fine drinker.

My influences include: Brett Helquist, Edward Gorey, Tim Burton, Odilon Redon, Gris Grimly, Brian Froud, Jim Henson, Dave McKean, Maurice Sendak, Dr. Seuss, Aubrey Beardsley, and Sir John Tenniel.
