Hello, I'm Dick Grinwis from Rotterdam, the Netherlands!
I hold a degree from the Willem de Kooning Academy, where I majored in Illustration and minored in Identity.
I hold a degree from the Willem de Kooning Academy, where I majored in Illustration and minored in Identity.
During my time at the academy, I began working in the Dutch games industry, gaining several years of experience as a concept and game artist. Eventually, I transitioned to freelance work, where I discovered a strong passion for layout and background art for animation—a field that has since become my specialty.
While my current focus is on visual development for animation, I continue to have a deep interest in concept art and character design.
