Artist | Traditional Art
Greece
I am a traditional artist with a degree in animation, my preferred techniques being stop motion and pixilation. I'm also interested in illustrating; children's books and fairytales in particular. Every now and then i venture into the fashion illustration and crafts areas too.
My work is mostly created with pencils, watercolours and inks.
You can find bookmarks, cards and other stationary with my art in my
Etsy shop .
For more information, commissions or freelance work you can contact me at athina089@yahoo.gr .
