Embracing Whimsy and Imagination
Gillian Girod is an author and illustrator, and painter focusing on narrative work with fantastical elements. She blends themes of folklore with tales of her own imagination and some components of her own life experiences in all her art forms. In part to make sense of her reality and in part to escape into a more colorful world.
She has a strong emphasis on hand made artwork. It is important to remember what people can create with their two hands, an idea, and dedication. This is an anti-AI and a pro-artist space.

Upcoming Projects
Hi and thank you for stopping by my website!
My name is Gillian and I am an independent author, illustrator and painter. I also dabble in Graphic Design and hope to get into animation soon as well.
As of 2025, I published my first book “Happy Jack in Hallow’s Eve.” I built this book from concept art, to storyboarding, to formatting and publishing. I am so happy to be able to share it with you and I hope you enjoy it.
Looking into 2026, I have a couple of new projects on the horizons. A new children’s book about Dungeons and Dragons and a set of narrative oil paintings are some examples of projects I plan to take on. I hope you’ll follow along for updates!
