Emily M Allin

Emily M Allin has been drawing since she was very young. Her parents owned a Graphic Arts business and Emily would spend hours, every day, tracing the images her father created for his clients.

When she was 8 years old, she recreated the cover of a children's book, 'Timmy and Lassie'. The attention to fine details, the shading and coloring was not your typical Refrigerator Art generated by the average 8-year-old.

When Emily was 12 years old, she entered a piece into a blind Juried art show. This means that the artists and gallery owners judging the art only had a number for the artist. The Judges did not know that Emily was only 12. Her piece was accepted into the exhibit.

Growing up in a household where her parents created art for clients, Emily soon had clients of her own. Even though this was satisfying in its own way, it stifled Emily's ability to create the art she wanted to create.

Emily is an anomaly in this age of computers. She is a millennial that doesn't like technology. Even though she grew up in a house full of both Mac and PCs, she creates everything on her fathers' original small art table.

Airship Adventures is a project that Emily has worked on for several years. It started out as a handful of drawing created for a local Hot Air Balloon event but soon developed into the idea of a coloring book. Her plan is to create a series of coloring books all stemming for the whimsical adventures of her characters seen in Airship Adventures.
