ELL85 in New York

Elliot Masters - also known as ELL85 - is an illustrator from a village just outside of Dover in Kent.

Having studied Fine Art at TheUniversity of Reading, Masters and has gone on to work on a number of creative projects for local Kent businesses. ‘cene Magazine first came across the work of ELL85 at the Big Boys Fine Burgers restaurant in Folkestone, as he created the menu artwork.

As well as collaborations with fellow Folkestone outfit The Quarter Masters, the illustrator has won high profile work for some top design companies.

Masters puts his development of style down to a “ lifetime of doodling”, which has expressed itself in his recent work, combining illustration and photography - initially drawing over holiday photos.

Using this technique, ELL85 has collaborated with travel photographer Chio Fernández and UK clothing brand Hobo Jack.

He aims to take scenes of everyday life, and inject them with humour, developing a main theme that on closer inspection reveals more details underneath.

His illustrative work has also led him to work with Creative Thrds, the San Diego, California-based clothing company, which commissioned him to draw two illustrations featuring items of their clothing for promo and social media use.
