Illustration Portfolio
I create playful illustrations with a handmade feel, using traditional materials like gouache and coloured pencils, combined with digital tools. From poster design for your next event to hand-drawn visual assets for your brand, I can create custom work to bring a unique touch your project.
If you would like to commission me for illustration work, please send me an email with your project information: hello@emilythewilson.com
Working with Emily was an absolute dream - she realized our creative vision and was fun to collaborate with! It was really meaningful to work with an artist from our region who understood the grassroots origins of our festival and really spoke to our audience members and artists. I have vivid memories after the first night of the festival of calling our merch supplier to request a rush batch of shirts, bags and stickers because we could not keep them in stock! The legacy of this partnership can be seen across the country - folks proudly wear their shirts sporting the flicker, moose and other critters in such a striking illustration style. This is an invaluable marketing tool for our organization to generate 'buzz' year-round and is a lasting legacy of our partnership with Emily.
