Surrealist Illustration: Draw Compelling Stories

Kyle Ellingson is a freelance illustrator living in Brooklyn, New York. He first started drawing as a child, encouraged by his grandfather, a printmaker, and his uncle, a visual effects artist. He went on to study creative writing and philosophy at college and working at bookstores in his spare time when he discovered the possibilities of visual narrative. Kyle later attended the illustration practice program at Maryland Institute College of Art, creating a final project that attracted his first freelance editorial jobs.

Since then, he’s been featured in by a number of notable blogs and created illustrations for clients including New York Magazine, The New York Times, Billboard, Financial Times, The Washington Post, and The New Yorker.
