Available to hire
Hi, I’m Anton Dirkin, an accomplished illustrator and studio artist with over 10 years of international experience in media entertainment design. I favour a more hands on illustration style and enjoy combing both analog and digital techniques. I am currently working on a large personal project but I am always open to opportunities and would like to know more about your idea.
