Hello.

This is me, Elanna Allen.  I design imaginary worlds that capture the joy of being human. 

Enjoy perusing my illustration, character design, drawings, animation, and television shows on this site.   Also, there are a smattering of my AI creations based on diffusion models trained solely on my original art.  Enjoy!

My Story

It started with a childhood love of sculpting tiny things, that morphed into the making of tiny clay stop motion movies that blossomed into a career of creating cohesive design languages for colorful worlds of animation and picture books.  I studied fine art at Brown University, illustration at RISD, and animation at the National Film Academy in Prague, FAMU.

I've designed and/or directed shows for Nickelodeon, Disney,  PBS, Netflix, and Jim Henson Company, and published books with Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and Penguin Randomhouse.

You can find me in New York City, trying to play the ukulele. I also sing, much to the dismay of my husband, two sons (three sons, if you include my cat) and downstairs neighbors.   Say hello sometime!
