Eamonn ONeill Illustrator Animator Studio Portrait

Hi! I’m Eamonn.

I’m a children’s book illustrator and animation director. I love to create work that’s full of colour, character and humour.

I studied at the National Film School in Dublin and at the Royal College of Art in London.

I began working professionally in 2009. Since then, my work has won several awards including a BAFTA nomination and an Art Director’s Club Young Gun.

I live and work in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. If I’m not busy illustrating or animating, I’m probably running after my pet greyhound Eli.

Some of my clients include:
