About

BORDERLINE ARTISTIC 1988
My name is Mike Ellis. I sometimes work under the similar name mikellis.
I am a third year Illustration student at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Born in Newmarket, Ontario. I currently live and work in Toronto, Ontario.
EXPERIENCE
I have been working as a freelance Illustrator and designer since 2006. In the summer of 2008 I was awarded a small business Grant from the government of Ontario to develop the now defunct Glass Kids Skateboard Co.
Since then I have worked on many important projects and have overseen the development and curation of creative events. Aside from commercial illustration, I have exhibited artwork at AWOL, Whippersnapper Gallery, and Sleeping Giant, and the Foster Home.
I am the co-founder of Glass Kid Studios and am currently working on a series of 3D animations with Finlay Paterson.
I am also a founding contributor of the Toronto-based zine Fat City Wild Cat.
