'''David Elliot''' is a ''[[About|Redwall]]'' chapter icon illustrator. He illustrated seven ''Redwall'' books, the most out of any illustrator. He also provided illustrations for two books in [[Brian Jacques]]' other series, ''[[About Castaways|Castaways of the Flying Dutchman]]''. Elliott resides in Port Chalmers, Dunedin, New Zealand.<br />
<br />
In a [[2024]] interview on "Spinning Yarns with Sian" on Radio 91FM, Elliot mentioned that [[Patricia Lee Gauch]] recruited him to illustrate the ''Redwall'' novels. "Brian had decided to stop originating his ''Redwall'' series in the UK and brought them over to Penguin in America ... there was a really great editor there called Patti Gauch who wanted to start on a new footing, I suppose ... so she called me in as the illustrator."<br />
