Folio, a giant of the illustration world, launches its own in-house animation studio on 28 January 2022, offering end-to-end production for clients of Folio’s world-class international artists.
Folio has for decades delivered a range styles by industry-leading artists. Now, with Folio Lab, the agency will take client projects from initial storyboarding to final broadcast-quality animation.
Led by Head of Animation Pete Henderson, a renowned illustrator-animator himself, the Folio Lab studio delivers polished projects with noted visual flair and a dedicated professionalism that has been honed through Pete’s own long industry experience.
Nick Dawe, who founded Folio in 1976 and is still plays a hands-on role, said: “Folio has always explored new trends and technologies, from outstanding airbrush works in the 1980s, through pioneering digital illustrations in the 1990s to the rise of animation in the mobile age. I’m delighted that Pete has agreed to lead this new venture and I can’t wait to see what future metaverses we explore as illustration continues to evolve.”
Editors Notes:
Folio was founded in London in 1976 and represents an evolving roster of a few dozen hand-picked international artists.
