Hi my name is Paul Clifton. I am an artist who works with animation illustration and graphic design. I love bringing ideas to life through creative visuals that tell a story and connect with people. Over the years I have built strong skills in creating characters scenes and concepts that stand out both in motion and still form. I pay close attention to detail and enjoy turning rough ideas into clean and eye catching designs. Whether it is an animated project a digital illustration or a full graphic layout I focus on making sure every piece feels alive and professional. I am always open to learning new styles and tools to keep improving and make each project better than the last. If you are looking for someone who can turn imagination into clear and striking visuals I would love to work with you and bring your ideas to life.
