My name is Alex Canedo, I'm a Freelance Illustrator, Lettering Artist and Animator from Porto, Portugal.
I work across editorial illustration, social media campaigns, brand illustration, poster design, book covers, event maps, and explainer videos.
I'm always trying to find new ways to express myself in the work I create.

Little backstory:
I started drawing when I was 15 years old, doing realistic portraits of famous people (my very first one was Eminem, it came out absolutely terrible, but that didn't stop me!). Went to art college, didn't really like it there, I felt like I didn't fit in with the rest so I decided to drop out.
Took some time off drawing, transitioned to video editing for a while - that's where I started to play around with animation. Had some fun creating animated type / stickers and uploading them to GIHPY. The fact that people all around the world could type something on the search bar and my work pop up, it was an amazing feeling for me. Quickly after I jumped into Illustration, mainly focusing on lettering. There's something about playing with type that I absolutely love.
