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.

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!
