Autobiographical comics about mental health, death, everyday life, and anything between
Drawesome comics are an insight into my inner conversations: a light-hearted approach to unpicking the world around us, which despite being about ‘Me’, has universal and relatable moments.
Playfully exploring deep questions through art
Me and Brain comic
Autobiographical comics bringing to life the – often whimsical – internal conversations I have with myself, mostly about my artistic process, mental wellbeing, and everyday life.
Me and Bones comic
In Me and Bones, I talk to my future dead self ‘Bones’ to better understand how I feel about my own mortality. This dialogue allows me to gently explore emotional and philosophical responses to death, dying, and end-of-life planning, told using my eclectic and whimsical sense of humour.

I’m Laura Elliott, the multidisciplinary artist and creative facilitator behind Drawesome. I playfully explore the relationship we have with ourselves and what it means to be on this journey we call ‘life’. With a background in illustration, graphic design, comics, and performance, I love combining these elements to create a light-hearted approach to helping people contemplate deep questions and empower them in their own responses and approaches to creativity.
My unique approach injects a playfulness, including gamifying art classes, and balancing humour and compassion, creating artwork and workshops with sensitivity and curiosity.
I also work as an associate artist with Brass Bathtub CIC on the project 100 Ways To Say Goodbye.
