Planet Eep

Welcome to my home planet.

About Me

I'm not a native Earthling; I'm originally from a distant planet that goes by the name of Planet Eep. Here on Earth, I answer to the name Elisa Dallas, and I make art about the various monsters I remember from home.................................................From top to bottom: "Flying Floppy Bunnies Attack, or, The Bunny Bandits" ... "The Terror Arrived by Sea" ... "I See What You're Saying" ... "Fire Breathing Millipedes Say Hello" ... "Very First Pet" ... "The Peach Jelly Breeze" ... "Boxing Match on Satellite TV, 534.29 Light Years Away" ... "Crustaceans Cook Delicious Dinners" ... "I Think Those Snails are Spying on Us" ... "White Spiders in the City" ... "Alien Snail Invasion" All images on this page copyright Elisa Dallas.

My Interests

Most of all I love monsters (or creatures or beasts), especially snails, sheep, spiders, jellyfish, cats, and monsters that exist only in my head. I mean, on my home planet. I also love clouds, buildings, highways, and rain.Dancing in the RainThe Two-Headed Octobear Claims Another PlanetAbove are a few illustrations from an in-progress book about my home planet. The monsters you see are the frilly fox, the hotel mite, the mesmeric cat, the somnambulant sheep, and the ballet snail.The cake escaped into the wilderness just moments before the birthday party.Above are a few images from a book titled "What are You Having for Lunch?" First you see what each monster looks like in its larval form, then you turn the page to see how it will look as an adult, and then you open its mouth or stomach to see what it will eat.Octopus Bananas are HungryI Have this Funny Feeling that I'm Being FollowedWhite Spiders on a Midnight HuntHaunted HousesMonsters on HalloweenMeDragon plus cobra plus cougar equals Dusty.Rabbit plus robot plus bobcat equals Elfie.Happy Halloween 2006
