Borja Montoro (He/Him)

Concept Artist Character Artist Storyboard Artist Animator
I'm a professional draftsman with more than 35 years of experience in the animation industry, where I mainly work today as Character Designer, but also do Story Boards and 2D Animation, which was my main career for many years before. I've worked with pretty much every main company out there, like Disney, DreamWorks, Warner, Sony, Netflix, Illumination, Sergio Pablos Animation, etc..., but also with smaller ones, like Sunrise, in Cape Town , SA, or TAT in Toulouse, France and Hampa in Valencia, Spain, in various super interesting projects as well. Looking forward to meeting you all in theLightbox Expo soon. Cheers!
