Playgrounds: The Art Department is a creative festival hosted in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Every year the title sequence introducing the presenting artists is produced by the students of the Master of Animation.
In 2021 I had the honour to work on the sequence for the 24h-stream edition of the festival. I was an art director and lead animator on this project.

For the style development of this project, I tapped into my love for patterns. I combined textured patterns with smooth brushes to complement the fun and unique character designs.
The pencil encounters several outer worldly characters that each send it on its way to the next. To enhance this magical feeling and the nightly scenes, I choose bold, contrasting and unnatural colours.
