Illustrated portrait collab with Saje Damen

I’m a partner at Bolster, working globally across a range of design and illustration projects with my team.

My work is rooted in experimentation, blending analog and digital processes, from pencil, cut paper, and texture to vector-based workflows, to create graphic work that translates across applications.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with brands, products, and people from all over the globe and I’m always open to new projects and collaborations.

If you're interested in tackling a project together, or just want to say hello, I'd be happy to hear from you: hi@sebastianabboud.com

I’m an Art Director, Illustrator & Designer based on Vancouver Island, Canada.

I read somewhere that with all this generative art it’s going to be increasingly important to share process, to kinda like prove that you actually made the thing. I have done none of that but here’s a cut paper and pencil exploration from
