About
Akeem Clarke
Illustrator/Animator
Tokyo, Japan
I’ve always loved watching animation, ever since I was little. Every free time I had, I was always trying to sketch something,
I am highly inspired by both American and Japanese Animation.
I went to an art school on August of 2006 and graduated on July of 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. studying Animation (both 2D and 3D) and also graphic design.
In 2010, I moved to Honolulu, Hawai'i and did character design as well as web graphics for various people and companies.
Now I am currently residing in Japan as of 2014; I was Working on Unity3D doing motion design and CG animation for an indie film. I am now doing illustrations for logos, animation, and comic strips.
