Becky Donnelly is an Irish illustrator, currently based in London.
Since graduating from Ballyfermot College of Further Education, where she studied Classical and Computer Animation, she has worked at Red Knuckles Animation Studio in London, and now illustrates freelance. She has produced work for clients such as The Love Magazine, Brown Thomas, and Louise Kennedy, with an emphasis on (slightly twisted) fashion illustration and character design.
She has always been drawn to monsters in art and literature; as a child they allowed her to put a face to her fears, and thereby understand them.She has always been drawn to monsters in art and literature; as a child they allowed her to put a face to her fears, and thereby understand them. Good and evil are not mutually exclusive identities in her mind, and this objective shapes her aspirations as an illustrator. From malevolent models to goofy gremlins, she strives to provide unapologetic explorations of identity, in the hope it will allow audiences, and herself, to explore their own without judgement.
Essentially, Becky just likes to draw freakish monsters and people that look like they need a good meal.
