Ellen T. Crenshaw Illustration

Hi, I'm Ellen T. Crenshaw! I'm a cartoonist and illustrator living on Massachusetts' North Shore. I'm the creator of the New York Times bestselling Baby-sitters Club graphic novel adaptation of Stacey's Mistake by Ann M. Martin, as well as the upcoming Kristy and the Walking Disaster. I'm the co-creator, with Colleen AF Venable, of Kiss Number 8, which was nominated for an Eisner Award and long-listed for a National Book Award. I'm also the creator of What Was the Turning Point of the Civil War?: Alfred Waud Goes to Gettysburg, a Who HQ graphic novel. When I'm not making comics, I love playing video games, hiking with my dog, and analyzing movies with my husband.
