HUMAN-MADE 🎨 ORGANIC WHERE POSSIBLE 🌿 SUSTAINABILITY CONSCIOUS 🌊 MADE TO ORDER ♻️ INDEPENDENT ARTIST 🖤
Hi, I'm Nell AKA Loralai Lake - an independent illustrator and designer creating bold, human-made art inspired by folklore, nature, rebellion and the wonderfully weird.
I create wearable art, character designs, book illustration, covers, branding and visual content, working with authors, publishers and fellow creatives to bring ideas to life.
I believe art should say something. It should celebrate individuality, champion inclusion, spark conversation and occasionally make people look twice.
Everything here starts with a human, a drawing and an idea.

Wolfskin - A Webcomic
By Loralai Lake
This is a dark tale of mystery, belonging and identity steeped in Slavic foklore and set in the Carpathian Mountains. This visual tale features nuns, strange beings and a smattering of angry werewolves and feminine rage. Read for free on GlobalComix.
