Ali Vermeeren France
Freelance Digital Artist | Graphic Novel Illustrator & Author
I am a digital illustrator, based in France for the next 18 months.
For the past year, I've been researching and developing a script for a new graphic novel, which I'm now illustrating. The graphic novel presents the reader with evidence of a crime committed over 700 years ago and examines five wild theories surrounding the event to extract the truth about what actually happened. The subject is a well-known fairy tale.
Recent projects also include producing matte-painted stills for an indie horror film and working with a writer to illustrate a horror e-book for fans of his series of indie horror graphic novels. I illustrated the graphic novel Emily Corn™: Discovering Darkness with writer Page Wooller and publisher Markosia, which came out in 2019. I also started an independent art center in an empty shop, which ran as a 2-year project with a shop, exhibition space, workshops, life drawing, and artists' studios. We sold on behalf of over 60 artists & makers and exhibited 17 artists from October 2018 to September 2020. In 2019, we were nominated as the best art space in Wiltshire, which was a real honour.
