Hello! My name is Lauren Deane Hunter, and I am a 25 year old illustrator and animator from Los Angeles, California who has spent the past six years living and studying in London.
I like to consider myself as a girl of many trades, constantly finding inspiration in all different forms of creativity and transferring them into my personal practice. My interests include filmmaking, animation, makeup artistry, photography, illustration, and graphic design. I showcase these talents on my TikTok page where I have amassed a following of 240k.
My ultimate goal to achieve through my personal practice is to create narrative-based work that questions and challenges the boundaries of illustration, animation, and design resulting in nuanced, original pieces of narrative artworks.

- Avian - Song ProductionI've always had an obsession with music. Stemming from my infancy listening to “Queen” and “A Tribe Called Quest” albums with my dad as he drove me to school on sunny LA mornings, then eventually becoming obsessed with the over-the-top 1980’s movie musicals like “Xanadu” and “Breakin’ 2: The Streets” that my mom shared with me, my love for music had only grown since.
