Hello, I’m Simone Williamson, welcome to my portfolio. I’m an artist who specializes in digital illustration, comics, traditional animation and graphic design. 

I gravitate toward themes of environmental justice, scientific theory, gender and self-introspection. I am a freelance illustrator and animator with the award-winning investigative environmental magazine The Narwhal. 

I’m always pushing the boundaries of my practice and skills. I’m currently teaching myself 3D modelling in Blender and video/pixel manipulation in TouchDesigner.
