Andries Maritz

My name is Andries Maritz. I make storyboards, character designs and concept art.

I originally worked as an animator at Disney. Since most animation is now CG stuff and I like drawing, I moved across to storyboards instead. What interests me most about advertising work is having the opportunity to alter my style for various projects. Varying the look of my work is a challenge; it keeps things interesting.

The best thing about working on commercial projects is the quick turnaround; I can’t get bored on a job and I have to be as creative as possible in a very limited timeframe. It can be a bit stressful, but fun. I’m known for being fast and efficient—I’ve never missed a deadline!
