Hi there! I’m Toni I’m a UK based layout and background artist for animation.

I graduated with a BA (Hons) Degree in Animation production at Arts University Bournemouth in 2018, focusing my studies on background painting and 2D visual development. I had the opportunity to cultivate my interest in film and storytelling, dedicating many years to learning all I can about lighting, cinematography and composition to continually improve my work.

Ever since I have been backpacking across Australia and gawking at a bunch of things in Europe while working freelance for various clients, creating concepts and working as a Background/Layout artist for commercial projects.

As you can probably tell, my work gravitates towards the graphic and colourful. But over the years I have experimented with many different styles, stories and subjects, that’s what keeps things interesting!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at:
