ILLUSTRATIONS
Every creation I've ever made, regardless of its complexity, is rooted in the basics of illustration - for it is the fundamental part of my art, my cornerstone. When a promising idea sparks my mind, before anything else, I put it on paper - either as a sketch or as a written word - but always by my hand.

COMICS
Ever since I was a young kid, I used to doodle. I didn’t know it yet but I was actually drawing single page comics. I still have many of them saved. Back then, my letters were barely legible, and grammar was a mystery, but within that one sheet of paper, my little world(s) unfolded. Few years later I discovered comics and started to draw them more traditionally in panels. Decades later, I use the 9th Art as my favorite medium to keep telling my stories.

ANIMATIONS
(and GAMEDEV)
I'm a 90's kid, part of the generation that transitioned from playing outside with friends during the day to moving inside when the night fell to continue gaming. Nowadays, I don't have as much time to play, but I'm grateful that working in game development lets me breathe life through animation into numerous characters, cutscenes, and worlds.

DOs and DONT’s
-
While my focus leans towards the efficiency of digital art for its speed and editing flexibility, I'm equally adept in traditional mediums like aquarelle, ink, charcoal, and pencil. Let's find the perfect blend to bring your vision to life.
-
Choose from a range of styles in my portfolio, from children's books illustrations, comics and graphic novels, to eye-catching game industry key-art and animations. Thanks to diverse experiences, my style adapts easily. Whether it's my iPad Pro, Wacom Cintiq, or a good ol' brush, I bring that adaptability to create the magic you're looking for.
-
Nothing against it (love good anime stuff), I simply dunno how to do it. My artistic expression is primarily influenced by Western artists.
-
My artistic journey began in art school at the age of 14, and over the years, I've honed my skills, taking pride in my strengths and embracing the human touch that comes with artistic imperfections. Rest asured that what you get from me is 100% human made.
