Hello! I'm Damien
I'm a freelance concept artist and illustrator based in Toronto. I'm a graduate of Seneca's art fundamentals program as well as their independent illustration program. I specialize in characters and illustrations heavily focused on visual storytelling but I'm versatile and can also design props and environment assets for production. I'm a quick learner, adaptable, and very used to working in multiple art styles ranging from semi-realistic to highly stylized which comes in handy when working with a company that utilizes a variety of styles.
