Edwin van Beek is a Traditional animator / Background painter / Storyboard artist from the Netherlands. When being an artist in this small country you are a jack-of-all-trades, which is a lot of fun because all those things have one thing in common; you create a story.

When he's not drawing & painting, he studies classic movies, reads graphic novels and plays a game or two...
