Drawing from the visual worlds of science and nature, the human figure, the grand tradition of American illustration, Japanese scroll paintings and woodblock prints, fantasy illustration, and great artists of Europe, Elliott’s work strikes the viewer at first with a powerful tableau and draws them in to experience the subtlety and beauty within. Beyond the pictorial impact of his work, themes personal to him such as body image, environmental preservation, and social and psychological repression weave themselves throughout his work.

D&D Player's Handbook- 5th edition is out!!
-My painting of a forest encounter between an Elf and Hellhound.
Thanks Jon Schindehette for the commission and Kate Irwin for her Art Direction. It is so cool to be in this book- As a kid I stared at the pictures in the early editions of this and the other D&D manuals over and over. I couldn't play the game so well, but my enjoyment was more from the art really. I hope kids today will enjoy the art like I did, maybe more, since these pages are all in color and the edition I had was black and white!
This piece can be found in a cropped format on page 206.
I made the top 15 Art Professors in LA! This is such an honor, and it is of all the arts professors, such as music theatre and visual arts.
