Biography

Lucas Elliott is a professional Illustrator and comics artist. His career has provided him opportunities to work in comics, visual development for animated projects as well as community art projects around the state. In addition to teaching at UAA, Lucas occasionally teaches a variety of online workshops. He has an extensive understanding of various digital programs that help him in his role as an educator, ranging from much of the Adobe Suite to programs like Procreate and Clip Studio Paint.

He’s a fan of three things: coffee, pizza and a good story. Not necessarily in that order.
