Craig Elliott is an artist based in
Los Angeles, California. He received his education at the famed
Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and studied
under artists such as Harry Carmean and Burne Hogarth.
Craig’s carefully crafted and arresting images of nature and the
human form have captivated audiences with their visual and
intellectual celebration of the beauty in this world and
beyond. In addition to his fine art work, Craig has had a
hand in designing many of today’s most popular animated films
from studios such as Disney and Dreamworks. A multi-faceted
artist, he is also an accomplished landscape architect, sculptor
and most recently, jewelry designer. Especially known for his
exceptional ability with the human figure and
creative composition, Craig’s work has evolved into a unique
vision informing and influencing fine art, print, animation, and
commercial worlds.
Drawing from the visual worlds of science and nature, the human
figure, the grand tradition of American illustration, Japanese
scroll paintings and woodblock prints, fantasy illustration, and
great artists of Europe, Elliott’s work strikes the viewer at
first with a powerful tableau and draws them in to experience
the subtlety and beauty within. Beyond the pictorial impact of
his work, themes personal to him such as body image,
environmental preservation, and social and psychological
repression weave themselves throughout his work.
Craig is now working as an Art
Director at Sideshow collectables.
