My name is Elyse Pastel and I am a freelance illustrator specializing in illustration for children. In my career have illustrated books, educational books and magazine articles. Along with children's illustration, I have also worked in the animation and children's product design fields. My clients include Henry Holt, McGraw-Hill, Innovative Kids, Walt Disney, Marvel, and Highlights among others.
Along with my freelance work I also teach drawing, storyboarding and animation at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA).
I live in Los Angeles with my husband and two children.
