Émilie Gleason

Émilie Gleason is a belgium-mexican illustrator born in 1992. Sometimes she depicts a lunatic, oneiric, deformed society – because drawing still allows her to take an imaginary plane to go live a hundred lives all around the universe. Sometimes she spills out her hatred against this nonsensical way of living. But between us, she still hopes to drive a semi-truck within Canada in the future. Her work: emiliegleason.com
