Who is Cecily?


CECILY is a cartoon character particularly enjoyed by women in the 30 to 70 year age bracket.

CECILY is a middle class woman who exposes her fragilities and foibles with a wry, self-denigrating humour. She exists in many of us and through her we are able to laugh compassionately at ourselves. Gordon, the shy bachelor, and Jude, the careworn mother of two, also make the odd appearance.

CECILY appears on a wide range of greeting cards, stationery and gifts.
CECILY is the creation of Celia Allison. Celia grew up in rural Canterbury, and after many itinerant years, now resides in Lyttelton. Following graduation from Wellington Polytechnic with a Diploma in Visual Communication Design in illustration and graphic design Celia has worked in this area for many years.

Celia also produces Moa Revival, a New Zealand range of stationery. With many cartoon commissions under her belt Cecily evolved as a pet project though, as Celia protests (not too loudly, she hopes), she is not necessarily autobiographical.
