Ellen Million

Ellen has projects like most people have hairs on their heads, and keeps sprouting more.

She has been doing fantasy art since 1980, when she wrote her first illustrated book at the age of 4. Fortunately, she has improved a little since then, and has no shame in sharing her embarrassing progression, as well as all the little art and business tricks she's picked up.

She lives in Alaska with her husband, a polydactyl cat named Velcro, and a newfoundland-mix dog who outweighs her and loves everyone. They happily coexist in a house they built in the middle of a birch forest in Alaska. When Ellen isn't coding and drafting to bring in money, she is illustrating her own stories and dreaming up new projects to inflict on the fantasy art community.

Ellen has a college degree in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on aerospace, and a minor in art.
