Early life

Chrissie Zullo was born in Canada. She has since lived in South Florida and North Carolina before settling in New York.[1]

Zullo has stated that Alphonse Mucha is an influence on her art, as well as historical French and Japanese art in general. Her style, which she describes as "flowy, dreamy, and whimsical", is also influenced by modern comics artists such as Winsor McCay, Adam Hughes, Travis Charest and James Jean,[3] and names The Umbrella Academy #2 as her favorite James Jean cover.[4]

Career

Chrissie Zullo was recognized by an editor at the DC Talent Search at San Diego Comic Con 2008.[2] After six months, she was offered the job for illustrating the covers of the Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love series.[1] Her first interior sequential work was on Madame Xanadu #26.[2]

Technique and materials

Zullo uses acrylic wash to render her illustrations in black and white, and colors them with Adobe Photoshop.[1]

Reception

David Pepose, reviewing Zullo's work on Madame Xanadu #26 for Newsarama, praised her work on that issue, stating that "her style could not be more suitable for the pure emotion this tale evokes".[5]
