Luke J.
2D Illustration & Animation | Specialist in Character-Based Projects
I’m a professional 2D Animator, Digital Illustrator and Character Designer with over a decade of experience bringing stories and characters to life. My work has generated millions of organic views and engaged global audiences. Highlights include: • 4.6 MILLION organic views on a single “Coolman” animation I produced. • Collaborating with Cardi B and her team to create the full animation trailer and marketing visuals for her crypto project. • Producing multiple high-performing animations and illustrations that have exceeded 25K+ organic views for leading crypto projects such as Naked Jim, Broak, Mark Kacy, Milli, and more. I am highly skilled in Illustration & Animation softwares such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, Adobe Animate and Toon Boom. While I’d love to work with everyone, my style is best suited to character-driven projects with a strong creative direction and clear narrative. I’m passionate about creating emotionally resonant, visually striking content, while also building long-term relationships with the teams behind them.
