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 fairytale collections 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.
