Maarten Peeters (1988) is a graphic designer and freelance illustrator based in Mechelen, Belgium. After finishing his studies graphic design he specialized in illustration at Luca School of Arts (Ghent). He became an editorial illustrator because it perfectly combines his two most beloved passions: creating storytelling images and his love for print, especially magazines and newspapers. Besides that he enjoy making illustrations for books and different kinds of advertisement campaigns. In his work he likes to use stylized shapes and a bright, minimalistic color palette. Rather than designing complex images he attempts evoking emotion and a curious atmosphere.
