Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am Nicolas Balas and I divide my time between animation, illustration, and comic strips, three activities that mutually influence each other and characterize my graphic style. My goals are to help people who have a message to convey it, to understand their needs and to produce an original production in their image and with a strong style.

I support my clients: companies, cultural institutions, media, documentary production companies... from the conception phase to final delivery.

Since 2018, I have also been a motion design lecturer for several schools in Toulouse, which constantly pushes me to question my working method and my profession in general.

Based in Toulouse, I am mobile and work remotely or in person depending on the projects.
