Profile
Joseph Neil
Gittins
Based in Vilnius, Lithuania.
2D Artist and Visual Development Artist with over fifteen years’ experience across animation, film, television and commercial projects.
My practice is grounded in drawing and image-making, with a strong understanding of composition, colour, light, perspective and shape language. I develop imagery from early sketches and visual exploration through to finished artwork.
I have collaborated with studios including BBC, Netflix, Nexus Studios, Passion Pictures and Electric Theatre Collective, adapting my visual approach to different projects and production requirements.
