Hello! I am Ville (or Phan), and am a Meanjin based multi-disciplinary artist specialising in 2D work. I adore doing concept art of both characters and environments but also love storyboarding, animating and comic making! I am constantly working on various personal projects alongside completing work for university projects. I also continue to find ways to upgrade and expand my skill range in the creative arts.In my free time (outside of drawing) I enjoying engaging in different pieces of narrative based media (games, books, films, etc), going on walks, as well as sewing and crafting.Feel free to peruse my galleries of work, and if you wish to contact me you can shoot me an email at:
