Tom Ellis
About
Purveyor of Mythical Creations
I'm Tom, a Midlands based artist. I run my creative company Curious Oddities. I'm a maker of fantastical creatures and magical artefacts. Inspired by fantasy, myths and storytelling, alongside a huge hoard of foraged and found materials, from Victoriana to Vegetation. From these I've created a menagerie of wondrous beasts and objects to scare and delight, all with a unique story to tell.
I'm passionate about collaborating with a wide range of individuals and groups, working with a variety of inspiring materials. Ultimately creating really rewarding, ambitious and imaginative projects. This includes Workshops, Puppeteering, Prop Making, Creature Design and Practical Film Effects.
​
Please feel free to contact me about commissions, events or workshops. Happy to bring to life your idea or summon up something completely new and magical!
