Oh hello, I’m Em. I’m the owner and artist behind Em Somerville Illustration, and I’m pleased to make your acquaintance. I juggle illustrating with a full time job in finance, working on a staff of four running an online community, and baking up a storm whenever I have a free moment. It helps that I don’t sleep.

I create this world from my little desk where I can surround myself with colourful art and toys to inspire me. My desk is lined with plastic Dinosaurs, prints from my favourite artists, pretty photos, postcards from wonderful people and Back to the Future LEGO. I'm a collector and a clutterer. I like to fill my home with intrigue and wonder. Really, I just like to draw in my underwear sometimes.
