Kellee Riley

Artist Kellee Riley has worked with some of the best-known brands in children's entertainment, such as Barbie, "My Little Pony," "Spongebob Squarepants," "Dora the Explorer" — and, of course, Mattel's "Monster High" doll line, for which Kellee was the original illustrator!

For her work on "Rescue Sirens," we asked Kellee if she could draw our mermaids in a series of circular poses for use on merchandise, and she also provided us each mermaid in both her lifeguard top and her mermaid top. We absolutely love the way that Kellee draws mermaids, so we've been really excited to work with her.

Visit Kellee's website and follow her on Instagram to learn more about her and her artwork, and check out her Etsy shop for coloring pages, prints, and pins! 

Gabby Zapata

Gabby Zapata is a Senior Visual Development Artist at Disney Digital Network in Glendale, California. If you follow the Walt Disney Company's accounts on Instagram, odds are good that you've seen Gabby's bright, happy, huggable takes on Disney's classic animation characters! She's also a frequent featured artist at Downtown Disney's WonderGround Gallery in Anaheim.

Gabby's simple, appealing shape language and adorable characters made her a natural choice for a collaboration, and, like Kellee Riley, Gabby created dual illustrations for all five Rescue Sirens: she drew each of our girls in their mermaid form and in their human form, which required finding poses that worked for both tails and legs. Quite a challenge, and Gabby knocked it out of the park!

Check out Gabby's website and her Instagram account, and visit her Etsy shop to purchase her pins, earrings, washi tape, prints, and original artwork.
