Ever since I was a little kid, I have always had a wild imagination, always inventing new and interesting worlds, characters, and stories every day. By becoming an artist, I am finally able to immortalize these worlds, characters, and stories for the world to see, and hopefully ignite the imaginations of future generations.

Slide 6 : Emily Rosenthal Illustration ( tabling with sibling Sam)
Emily here, I'm a scientific illustrator who loves watercolor, postcards, and comics. I mostly use digital media in my professional work, but often use traditional media when painting portrait commissions or nature-journaling. I’m expanding to make more prints of my work, as well as cards, stickers, and other twee trinkets.
