Laina Deene is an illustrator and animator based in Brighton, particularly interested in creating pieces that draw from literature, memory and the natural world. Her main inspiration comes from reading, exploring and observing. Laina likes to use organic mediums that allow room for mistakes and unpredictable marks both on paper and in 3D. Currently, Laina is working with digital mediums to try and create ways that can retain the naivety that is apparent in handheld materials within the screen.

Hello! I am an illustrator and animator based in London. I enjoy working on narrative based projects, in particular those that are influenced by the written word. In regards to materials, when creating, I have a lot of fun working with loose and unpredictable materials such as charcoal, soft pastels and clay.
