My name is Amanda Gillick and I'm currently a student at State College of Florida. I've been doing illustration for quite some time now, even doing some professional work here and there during high school. Fortunately, I had a wonderful commercial art teacher who showed me the ropes of the professional art world very early on. I've been acknowledged by other professionals and within national art competitions, as well. When I'm not drawing, I also like to write. I would love to publish a graphic novel one day.
