After she lived “all around the world’, including the US, Indonesia, France and Belgium, Lois van Baarle a.k.a Loish works now as a freelance illustrator and animator from her home in Holland. She has been drawing since she was a child and most of her amazing colorful artworks are now created digitally. You can see the process examples on Vimeo.

We met while we were working together on one of the projects for LEGO and it was a great pleasure to work with her and get to know her better. She has many years of experience working for the different industries and brands. She was also featured in many publications, like Imagine FX and published her own art book The Art of Loish: A Look Behind the Scenes for her amazing fan base.
