Eva Jansen is a Netherlands-based freelance illustrator, animator, and live artist working from The Hague. With over 500 Instagram posts and a broad client base spanning educational, corporate, and cultural sectors, she produces illustrations and animations for books, posters, websites, social media banners, and live event coverage. Her practice bridges paper-based and digital production, with a preference for work that carries a recognisable personal signature.
Warm, humorous, and attentive to people and environment - her stated aesthetic combines sensitivity with a touch of irony. The portfolio features figurative and editorial illustration with expressive mark-making and narrative clarity. The work is communicative and character-driven rather than decorative repeat.
Works on paper using pencil, coloured pencil, fineliner, markers, watercolour, gouache, and acrylic paint. Digitally produces work in Adobe Illustrator, Procreate, and Adobe Fresco. Animations are produced in Adobe After Effects. Also practises live art - drawing visual minutes of meetings and events in-person and remotely, and creating discussion charts and visualisations.
Education, corporate communications, publishing, and events. Documented output spans animated explainer films, storyboards, editorial illustration, book illustration, posters, print production management, and live graphic facilitation. Available for commissions and freelance illustration assignments.
Based in The Hague, Netherlands. Works as a freelance illustrator, animator, and live artist. Handles complete design and print production management alongside illustrating. The website brand "ILLUSTRATIE & ANIMATIE" positions her firmly in communicative and editorial illustration rather than surface pattern design.
Not primarily a surface pattern designer. The portfolio features editorial illustration, animation stills, and communicative artwork rather than repeating pattern structures. SPD relevance lies in illustration for print applications - books, posters, print campaigns, and potentially decorative illustration for surface or packaging use.
