Michel Dani

Freelance Digital Artist

Beirut, Lebanon
009613249070 michel@micheldani.com www.micheldani.com
I have been working in the creative field since 1998, which led me to the advertising arena in 2002.
I have worked in children's storybook illustrations, educational books, character design, creative retouching, photoreal illustration, motion graphics and art direction.
I eventually studied character animation and had a lot of fun working on my own characters.
Nowadays, I work as a freelance digital artist in between my teaching hours at the Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts.
