Hello! I'm Emily Cheeseman, an illustrator inspired by fantasy, folklore, and tales of adventure. I work as a freelance artist based in Dayton, Ohio.

I focus on bold shapes and rich color in my work, and my favorite stories are classic swords-and-sorcery fantasy and historical fiction with magical or anachronistic twists. I design various items and accessories inspired by classic RPGs, which you can find in my online shop in addition to comics and zines. I also post my work on various social media and run a postcard club via Patreon if you like getting art in the mail.

Outside of work I'm an archer, I play a warlock in D&D, and I love a good oak tree.

I am represented by Kurestin Armada at Root Literary: kurestin@rootliterary.com
