Professional info
 

Professional comic book artist, with a passion for illustration and design. With architecture studies at the top Polytechnic University of Greece under my belt, I create images influenced by the urban landscape and city life, heavily referenced from movies, book and comics I devour.

 

In my 3 years of professional experience in the creative fields, I have managed to sign publishing deals with some of the largest publishing houses in Greece, like Patakis  and Polaris Editions. In all my projects I had full creative control bringing famous or new stories to life. I learnt how to collaborate seamlessly with the editor, different writers and the graphic designers to deliver top quality illustrations and comic book creations in tight deadlines.
