Welcome!
Estela Bem (they/them) is a queer Swiss author and illustrator based in Toulouse, FR. After years of working professionally in the digital world as an occasional graphic designer and a webcomic artist, they rediscovered their love for traditional art and the pure joy that comes from it. Now working mainly with paper cutouts and collage, EB's work is full of cute pets, quirky humans and colorful universes and aims to help children cherish their creative side and foster their own sense of wonder. EB is currently looking for representation and working on their Children's portfolio.
Notable works include: the semi-autobiographical comic NUF'S WORLD, posted weekly on several social platforms for 3 years, following the adventures of a grumpy Nuf, her friends and other cute pets. TIGER BOY, a self-published picture book centering a wizard boy born in an all-witch village. And finally, CAN I PET THAT DAWG ?, EB's second picture book debuting the adventures of the cutest and angriest girl, Pea.
EB graduated from EPAC's Swiss University of Arts; lately you can find them playing cozy games on the switch with their black cat close by.
