Bruno Balixa

Illustrator

Seixal, Portugal
Since 2006 I've been doing all sort of commercial illustrative art work in projects ranging from video-games, board-games, small independent publishings and animation.

I've been fortunate to find many gifted professionals whose invaluable advice, guidance and friendship have helped me shape my knowledge, my work ethics as well as my own artistic voice.

If you happen to be directing a project or if you are someone who is interested in any sort of collaboration and you think my style and experience may help you consolidate your vision, make sure to reach me by email juumpei@gmail.com.
