Elizabeth Lewer

 I’m Elizabeth: a Toronto-based illustrator and recent OCAD University graduate. I love telling stories, but I learned in my high-school creative writing class to show, not tell. So obviously I went a little far with the idea: I stopped telling altogether and started showing everything, because what is illustration if not showing-not-telling? I think that there are some things that words can’t encapsulate - sometimes the best punchlines to a joke are all in the delivery, and sometimes words alone don’t carry the gravity you need them to. This is why I do what I do - I don’t put things into words, I take them out of it.
