ABOUT REEM
A little more
about .
I’m Reem, a 2D animator and illustrator with a background in fine arts and advertising. I draw characters and backgrounds for animation, and I teach illustration at the Information Technology Institute.
In my own work, I like to start somewhere familiar and change one thing. What would Cairo’s Bolaq El-Dakrour market look like if cats ran the stalls?
