Chris Hees
Chris Hee's signature retro comic look fuses nostalgia and modernity. His illustrations, characterized by realistic shapes and proportions, are often emphasized by outlines, giving them a clear and catchy aesthetic.
He also masters an impressive range of tools and techniques. His main tool is Photoshop, but he is also experienced with other pixel-based painting and drawing programs such as Painter, Clip Studio Paint and Procreate on the iPad.
Chris knows how to bridge the gap between digital illustration and traditional art: his repertoire ranges from oil to acrylic to watercolor. But that's not all! For large-scale works, Chris also uses spray cans or emulsion paint.
His deep passion for classic graffiti sets him apart and he plans to reintegrate this art form more heavily into his work. Anyone looking for a live artist or workshop leader will also find what they are looking for with him.
With a degree in communications design from the University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden, Chris brings a solid knowledge of graphic design principles and tools, although he primarily focuses on his illustration art. Nevertheless, he can combine graphic design and typography with his works if necessary.
Furthermore, Chris has a strong understanding of storytelling and has already developed storyboards and directed animated illustrations and graphic novels for NDR and other clients. Although each frame can be described in great detail, he also values the freedom to visually develop a story from the ground up.
Chris is an all-rounder who can take your project to the next level - whether you're looking for a simple illustration, a full storyboard, or a live drawing event!
