WiH Month: Camilla d'Errico

For my latest post for Women in Horror Month comic series, I want to present the local comic artist and illustrator Camilla D'Errico.

Camilla is a first generation Canadian born to Italian parents in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. She went to Vancouver to obtain her diploma in Illustration and Design from Capilano University and worked for various artists and comic projects until 2008, her own comic series, "Burn" was published by Arcana Studios. A story about a young body who after a freak accident, has his body merged with a sentient robot.

Her art style can be described as manga art style with dream-like watercolours, blending the cute with the fantastical and the surreal.

Along with Burn, she has worked as an artist on Serena Valentino's Nightmares & Fairytales. A collection of folklore and fairy tales published through Slave Labour Graphics and working on the graphic novel as well as the character designs for the video game "Sky Pirates of Neo Terra"

Along with her comic work, she has worked on various things like designer toys, stationary and various illustration work for Walt Disney Company, Hasbro Toys, Microsoft Zune, Dark Horse comics and the list goes on.

She has been getting great success from her artwork, whether it is through comics, illustration or product design. I hope to see more of her work in the future.
