Who is ilustraeris?
Hiya! My name is Eri Ikuno. I was born and raised in colourful and chaotic Mexico City, now living in Cambridge, UK.
I studied a BA in Graphic Design but always had spirits in me whispering “we want to come out and draw”. So back in 2013, I went on and did an MA on Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art and thus, my illustration journey began.
Are my spirits satisfied? Yes, my spirits are content, always learning and expanding. What lights up my spirits? Death, gore, lore, monsters and puppies.
When I’m not gliding a marking tool over a flat surface, you can find me at the local cinema or playing video games with my husband (the backseat gamer) or laughing at silly cats videos.
P.S. My brother took this picture of me, he’s an expert in taking the worst pictures of me… but this one makes me laugh every time.
