Who or what inspires Elijah to create?

For eight-year-old Elijah, art is more than a creative pastime; it is a sanctuary. His journey to the drafting table began during a difficult transition. After experiencing bullying in kindergarten and first grade, Elijah was withdrawn from traditional school to be homeschooled. It was in this safe, supportive environment that his family discovered both the root of his struggles and his greatest strength: a neurodivergent mind with ADHD.

What is Elijah's favorite art form?

Elijah’s favorite art form is drawing illustrations for his original "Fox World" comic book series. He fills pages with sequential stories starring "Nummy Num Num," his beloved safety stuffy. This comic format is his passion, allowing him to build an entire universe on paper. He uses bold lines and vibrant colors to chart Nummy’s adventures, turning his love for his stuffed fox into an epic, illustrated saga.
