Hiya! I'm Elli, the artist and founder of AstroManatee.

I started professionally making cosplay commissions in 2018 while I was finishing college at Columbia Chicago. In 2019, I started drawing digitally for fun to bring my original D&D characters to life.

I found a joy and passion through drawing by creating characters and silly little stickers.

In 2022, I took my vibrant creations to conventions, engaging with people face-to-face bringing a small selection of stickers and small prints.

My artwork is colorful and draws inspiration from anime and J-fashion. I now make one of a kind fashion pieces, whimsical jewelry, silly stickers, and apparel in all sizes.
