Summary
I’m a Concept Artist/Illustrator living in Groningen. Wanting to hone my skills after graduating in game design and development I set out to spend time learning from creative masters. I've been doing illustrations, concept art and portraits for around 10 years now for all kinds of clients. Ranging from individuals wanting a portrait to large illustration work for bigger studios.
I’m passionate about concept art and illustration and pride myself in creating engaging works of art that are dynamic, filled with color and have a clear focus. If you like what you see and want to work with me, feel free to shoot me a message.
