Lauren Budney

I have been a freelance illustrator (2007-present), currently located on the East coast, but willing to travel. A BFA graduate (Class of 2015) from the School of Visual Arts, I am originally from Florida.

My work focuses on technical precision with fantasy. http://www.ehlbee.com

Much of the inspiration of what I create can be traced back to the flora and fauna of my home town.

I spend most of my time doing studies of animals and human anatomy and applying this knowledge to the things I create.

I belong to the DryFish Collective ( http://dryfishcollective.tumblr.com), a group of four artists that create collaborative zines, stickers, and postcards.
