Elena Karanikolou (Missy Merida)

Hi, my name is elena ( missy Merida) and I'm a selftaught illustrator from Greece. Since 2018 I work as a full time illustrator, creating books for publishers in Greece and participate in many projects and collaborations. I mostly work with pencils, ink and digital media but I also enjoy using gouache, watercolours and mixed media. I live a few miles away from the center of Athens, in a house by the sea, with my husband, our children and our lovely pet pikla. My favorite thought is a sunset and my favorite color is the true one in the eyes of my favorite people out there . Im a selftaught dreamer and I believe in fairies.
