About
I'm Emile, a kiwi illustrator, designer and animator living in Japan.
Before becoming a freelance illustrator, I studied and worked as a graphic designer. Before living in Japan, I lived in the U.K. My main inspiration lately has been nostalgia and I'm currently exploring the concept of anemoia (nostalgia for something that doesn't exist.)
I love a good brief creating characters and isometric scenes. Drawing food and cars. Working on great ad campaigns and illustrating for beer cans and magazines. I sometimes animate too.
If you'd like to work together, then please get in touch! If you want to sign up to my tiny newsletter (just some illustration updates a couple of times a year) you can do so on my pencilbooth.
Thanks for looking!
Emile
