Mo Morrell

a.,   “Mo Morrell is an illustrator and designer based in London and building a body of work, largely in ink. She is 25, has been drawing for a long time and doesn’t know how to stop.”

My work is ranging from poster design and character creation, to design and illustration for small businesses and individuals. I like turning stories into comics, as I was heavily influenced by discovering stories and the way they can be told through reading comics. A lot of my early influences are in artists that worked with fantasy worlds and weird wild creatures, for example Jamie Hewlett, Chris Riddell and Ralph Steadman. I use the demonic black cat creature or “linecats” as a personal stand-in, like my ambassador or my little travelling salesmen. My own work is either autobiographical or complete nonsense fiction.
