ABOUT ME
My name is Edwin van Beek and I work as a 2D character-animator & Visual Artist for Feature Animation, Shorts & Themeparks. When being an artist in a small country like the Netherlands, you are a jack-of-all-trades, which is a lot of fun because all those things have one thing in common; you help create a story.
I've worked for many studios around the world, like on Nickelodeon's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, LEGO'S Monkie Kid and Merry Little Batman and Tiny Toons Looniversity for Warner Bros. Animation.
I'm used to be part of large teams and know my way around the animation-pipeline. My main job is animating in lots of different styles, but I also work as a lay-out artist, storyboard artist, background painter (supervisor) and colorboard-artist. This way I learned a lot about the demands and needs of all the different animation departments.
For the themepark industry I work as a concept artist, creating lots of visuals, story-ideas, character designs and storyboards for rides and leisure environments.
When I'm not drawing, I watch (classic) movies, read about movies, read graphic novels and play a game or two...
