I am introspective and spend considerable time examining my own thoughts and feelings. The process became a commitment to patience, sometimes I feel like it’s a rebellion against the speed and immediacy that surrounds us. I believe that in order to create work that is interesting and meaningful to others, you must first understand and accept who you are as an individual.

I’m Glenn Ellul a 24-year-old illustrator and designer. I create surreal and intricate illustrations using thousands of handmade lines, often created using just fine liner pens. I think that loneliness is necessary to myself. I need it to trigger the creative process, to recall, deep into my memory.
