Rey East

I’m a multi-disciplined illustrator, passionate about storytelling through graphic novels and zines. I often explore the juxtaposition between humour and delicate topics, using my work to facilitate discussions and mental health. My work is narrative-driven and playful, based on creating a sense of personality and individuality through character design. I decided to challenge myself during university by initiating projects that would require work that is adaptable. One of the most valuable outcomes from this experience is my development of a recognisable, visual language that can be moulded to fit different contexts and audiences. In addition, my background in graphic design has led me to explore a variety of applications for my work post-graduation, such as editorial and packaging.
