Welcome to Character Cube, the online home of Kenneth Anderson!
I am a professional illustrator and character designer based in the United Kingdom with 15 years experience working between games, animation and illustration. My specialties are story driven and character based illustration and character design for a variety of mediums, in particular childrens television development.
I have a background in traditional 2D animation having worked on Sylvain Chomet's Oscar nominated film "The Illusionist" (2010) as an inbetweener followed by animating on the French feature, "Titeuf: Le film" (2011).
In 2009 I started my business Character Cube with the aim of becoming a freelance character designer and illustrator. I have since worked with numerous companies around the world such as Nick Jr, Seasame Workshop, BBC Ceebeebies, Brown Bag Films, ImagineFX and others on a wide variety of projects.
I am now represented world wide by Lemonade Illustration Agency.
