Illustrations that are out of this world

ABOUT

My name is Ellyse, the creator of EllysiumIllustration!

Ellysium Illustration was born from my name, Ellyse—merged with "Elysium," a place of ideal beauty and creativity. My goal is to create illustrations that feel otherworldly, capturing the magic of life’s most special moments.

OUR TEAM

​We are a small, family-run business based in Newcastle upon Tyne, where I, as the lead illustrator, wear many hats — from creative director and marketing to illustration and administration. However, I couldn’t do it all without the incredible support of my fiancé, Tom, who is my main assistant and right-hand man. My best friends also play an important role as backup assistants, constantly cheering us on and promoting our work. While I’m the main illustrator, the help from Tom and my amazing team of supporters is essential in keeping everything running smoothly!

Fun Facts

Okay, now for the fun stuff — because we’re basically mates now:

Drinks

Pepsi Max owns my soul. Oh, and iced coffee. Specifically Starbucks iced coffee — I spent an alarming percentage of my teacher salary in there. Therapy might have been cheaper, honestly.

Foodie things

​I’m a sucker for amazing food, cute little cafes, and picturesque walks. I actually document a lot of this on my Instagram (@geordiegallivanting) if you fancy seeing what I get up to!

Fave TV Shows

The Office US, Parks and Rec, Game of Thrones, Taskmaster, and yes... Hannah Montana. No shame.

Cocktails

Give me an Aperol Spritz, Margarita, Strawberry Daiquiri, or a whole bottle of prosecco and I'm thriving. Bonus points if it's a bottomless brunch.

Hobbies

Anything creative. Painting, illustrating, and I love drawing nudie body figures (it’s my fave, don’t judge). Also, a good ol’ paint ‘n sip night is my idea of heaven.

Fangirl Energy

A little (okay, a lot) obsessed with Sam Fender. Like, if he needs someone to design his wedding stationary one day — call me, Sam.

Fitness-ish

I try to swim a few times a week, go for walks or to the gym to counteract my love for food — emphasis on try.

Flowers that make my heart happy.

Pink peonies, sunflowers, and red roses together — absolute dream combo.

Weird Flex-but okay

I have two Blue Peter badges and I am unbelievably proud of them.
