My Illustrations Tell Different Stories, And Here Are 35 Of My Best Works
My name is Laura El and I am a digital illustrator based in New York City. I began my artistic journey as a printmaker and commission artist, which led me to found a successful pet portrait company. Today, I can be found selling my work as NFT, which has allowed me to create art on my own terms and embrace complete artistic freedom.
My unique line art style and innate ability to tell stories through a single image have garnered admiration from people across the globe. So far my work has been sold at Sotheby's and featured in publications such as Forbes, Marie Claire, and Cosmopolitan. Last year, I have also written and illustrated a children's book, “The Lurkers”, recommended by Fox News as one of the best books to read in the Fall of 2022.

Big City Dreams
We've all had those lofty dreams. Sometimes, all you need to do is to take a leap of faith. It helps to have a good friend by your side.

Too bad that trajectory points to a nearly-there, but ultimately failed safe landing..... unless s/he grabs onto the ledge at the last moment.

I didn't give a damn about the kids, all I saw and wanted to see was the cat and this art and colors. Otherwise very pretty

Almost Home
It may be exciting to leave, but no matter how far our journey takes us, there's nothing like seeing a familiar sight and knowing you are almost home.

A lot of people have a tree, group of trees, an old barn or some kind of landmark like yhis which tells yhem ghey are nearly home. Lovely to see it illustrated like this....

Telephone/electricity poles are so messed up, the longer you look the worse it gets, they are not round wires hang to low, there is no perspective- poles don't get smaller the further it goes, distances not only does not get smaller it gets larger. Is this jus AI generated or something? No self respecting artist would make poles so wrong after producing this beautiful picture. With AI technology there is no guarantee for a real art pieces, or random things thrown together. Also cow has lines that are not coloured in and flowers float in the air

I agree, but I tried drawing the telephone poles and it was really hard so maybe it was just difficult to draw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sunset Serenade
When everything around you shines a little brighter and all of the love songs are written about you, cling to this moment for as long as you can. There may be no greater feeling in all of the world.

Art Collector
Step into the life of an affluent art collector as he smokes a pipe in his penthouse, overlooking breathtaking views of the New York City skyline. The warm glow of the blazing fireplace illuminates the vast collection of art adorning the walls, while his faithful Dalmatian snoozes comfortably on the nearby couch.

Symphony Of The City
The city is a melting pot where we all sing our own tune, yet we're also part of something much larger than ourselves. It's more than just noise; the 'Symphony of the City' gives our streets their pulse and makes us feel alive.

I love all the illustrations! They are reminiscent of the Disney animations from the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s: "The Lady and the Tramp", "Sleeping Beauty", and "101 Dalmatians". I have noticed that Laura also included her own modern artistic sensibilities along with the retro vibe. The result is nothing short of enchanting. Brava!
