Estelle Valls de Gomis

I'm a French writer and illustrator living in France.
I've had a few novels, short-story collections and artbooks published, and I keep going with more publications as time goes by.
I also worked as a translater for a while, and ran a publishing house from 2007 till 2009. I finally ended up earning a living as a webdesigner.
I've been drawing and writing since early childhood, and keep doing that in my free time as well as photography and short films.

I love illustration, Art Nouveau, comic art, pin-up art, and many more things that help me and inspire me on a daily basis. These influences show up in my own images, and I hope to make you enjoy them...

About > Activities

I was born in Italy where I have lived for most of my life and where I currently work as part-time illustrator. Starting at my earliest memories, I have always had a passion for drawing. Fed on a diet of cult TV, fairy tales and comic books I inexorably followed the path of imaginative art.
Stories feed the soul, I am an avid reader and I strongly think the illustrator is a storyteller who can create images and worlds made of magic, mystery, love, romance, tragedy, possibilities are limitless.

I began working as freelance commissioned illustrator few years ago and my work has appeared on several books and magazines. I enjoy the challenge of being a freelance as no two projects are the same and every day unlike the one before. My working technique includes mainly markers, pencils and watercolours with a painting style that often mix all these techniques together.
