Sitting tight? Better be. Meet Bram Vanhaeren. He is a 20 year old digital artist and published author. How’s that? He’s been developing his style since his first pen tool experiments in Illustrator about 6 years ago. Agreed!
His work is polished, trendy and already, he’s mastering quite a few tricks of the profession.
