It's been like 5 years since I've taken updated headshots and I look a bit different since then.
​This photo of 3 year old me captures my essence of today a bit more accurately.

      Hi I'm Eliamaria M.C., Elia for short. I’ve been drawing, coloring, and creating from a young age and was encouraged to harness my creativity and do what made me happy.   I started drawing box-figure doodles as my primary go-to in high school and eventually started, what-was, my Elia in a Box Webcomic then as well as comics for my high school newspaper, the Campus Corral.

     I went to college where I majored in Theatre. I had a love for performing comedy as well as designing and painting sets. While in college, I drew comics for the university newspaper, The Shorthorn, and started doing custom & freelance work. Upon graduating with my Theatre degree, I realized I loved where my comics and illustrations were going and I took off from there.
​
    Now I have the fun of going to cons with art, streaming and making videos online, and just having fun illustrating.
