About

Hi! My name is Pierre and I'm specialized in character design, visual development and traditional 2D animation.

I was born in the Netherlands and moved to Canada in 2005. I started drawing in 2009 fueled by all things whimsical and musical. And coffee :)

I'm currently working as a character designer and a traditional 2D animator in Montréal.
