"Currently based in Brussels Joost Jansen mainly works as art-director / director. As an international freelancer, he has been applying his visual identity to a wide variety of projects, ranging from his own author's films to documentaries, advertising films and video clips, etc. His animated shorts “A battle for peace” and “I love Hooligans” have won international awards and “Drifter” his 15 minute space trip has just been released. Joost Jansen's hand-drawn organic animation style shows common ground with comics, manga, and urban culture. And in his narrative style he often places existential social themes in a progressive 2D animated framework. "

I have over a decade's worth of experience in the game industry including work such as concept art, animation, 3D model texturing, lighting, and art direction. Animation was always at the core of my inspiration since I was a young lad in the 90's. Japanese Animation during that era sparked a fire in me to pursue a career as an artist and animator. My dream is to bring back the golden age of anime through my work and inspire the next generation of artists.

I never knew I was going to end up in animation, but thanks to a teacher who saw my love for illustration got me to join her class, I get to do what I love for the rest of my life. I have worked on the Hulu Animated series Solar Opposites and am now working full time as a digital designer, getting to create animations for Volvo and Logitech. I adore the freedom of bringing anything our minds can imagine to life and creating depth to our worlds and characters. And I would never change that for anything in the world.
