Illustrated portrait collab with Saje Damen

I’m an illustrator & designer based on Vancouver Island, Canada ⛰︎ ོ

I’m a co-founder at Diver, working across design and illustration with my co-pilot Nick and our partners at Input.

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

A collection of self-initiated illustration work from 2025 ✍️ It’s fun pulling these roundups together, and looking back on the year. So many pencils… I don’t really ever have a plan when I sit down to make something for myself,
Recently worked on a pile of brand illustrations for @marinelane 🍎 These are some of my favorite projects. Quick turnaround, loose with an open but clear brief. Had a lot of fun jamming on NYC related bits ✏️ thanks for a great collab @meganflood!

Somewhat unmotivated with personal work atm. Sometimes ya gotta draw a big hand holding a pencil to help shake the cobwebs ✍️
Tag yourself I’m the yin yang peace snowman ✍️
Nice to finally finish this painting, and on the spookiest weekend of the year nonetheless 💀🌷
