The Art Department Eindhoven 2024

Michael Relth is a freelance illustrator and animator, with experience in character design, 2D animation, 3D animation, visual development, and storytelling. His client list includes Procreate, Riot Games, MTV VMA’s, Disney, Netflix, and more. A successful children books author aside, Michael will share with us insights into his process and exciting projects, right on our Klokgebouw stage during The Art Department!

L.A. based Michael Relth has been working in the past 15 years on a variety of art related jobs ranging from motion graphics, 3D character animation, 2D animation, illustration, visual development, character design, all the way to directing.

“I like to mention all of the things I’ve done professionally,” Michael says, “because too often we’re told that we have to do one thing, but I’ve found great success and great enjoyment doing many things!”.

Michael also enjoys plein air painting with gouache whenever he can.

His debut children‘s book Picture Book by Dog was a massive hit featuring a tribute to the enduring love between dog and child, and celebrating animal adoption — from the dog’s point of view!

We can‘t wait to learn more about the process of this multi-talented artist!
