THE MIND OF ELBOW DAVEY


Hello! My name is Ellie, but most call me Elbow. I'm a digital artist and online creator who has been posting my art online since 2016.
I operate online as "ElbowStuff", where I am involved with many communities and post my creations across different websites, but my main platform is Instagram.
This website is designed to be a more professional hub to showcase my personal art, freelance work, and university coursework.

I am currently studying BA(Hons) Comic & Concept Art at the University for the Creative Arts.
I have done freelance animation work for the Your Friend Logan documentary and comic work for Koru Associates Limited.

ABOUT ME


Hello again! I'm Ellie, a 20 year old autistic creative. I am currently studying Comic & Concept Art at university!Elbow has been my long-time nickname, and now I use it as a representation of my artistic self. While my main online handle is 'ElbowStuff', and my real name is Ellie Davey, I wanted my professional art undertaking to be a blend of the two, hence 'Elbow Davey'. This is also the name I write my comics under.


I have done freelance animation work for the Your Friend Logan documentary and comic work for Koru Associates Limited. I have achieved an A* in A-Level Graphic Design and a Distinction in Foundation Diploma Graphics & Illustration.

Like most artists, I have been drawing as long as I can remember. However, I have also been sharing my creations online for that long, too! I started out on the kids programming website scratch.mit.edu, sharing my coding creations to my friends and whoever else might stumble across them. Then in 2016, Instagram became my main platform for posting, and it still is to this day. I have also joined a number of other websites, such as Twitter, Discord, Reddit and Tumblr in an effort to expand my reach and engage with a number of artistic communities.
Because of my efforts in not only posting art, but also interacting with fellow artists and creatives, I have amassed a small following, a number of connections, and many, many friends (some of which I have even met in real life!). My efforts have helped me gain over 6000 followers on Instagram, but socialising with other creatives and getting to know so many good friends has been much more important to me.


Other than art, I love Nintendo, nerdy music, funky clothes,
writing + researching, collecting trinkets and soft toys, animated movies + shows, weird + philosophical topics, and general oddities!

Thanks Scott Collab Project

The Thanks Scott Collab Project was a collaborative project organised by myself to celebrate YouTuber Scott The Woz hitting 250 episodes! The project involved collaborators redrawing a frame from all 250 episodes, then organising them into a big poster. The project took several months, but was very rewarding, getting a retweet and reply from Scott himself!
