Finbar Coyle is an illustrator and character designer from the east coast of Ireland. His early passion for art led him to study animation at the National Film School of Ireland, graduating in 2007. Since then, he has worked as a character designer for major animation studios on several children's television series. His love of animation and visual development is influenced by artistic heroes such as Cory Loftis, Max Ulichney and Annette Marnat.

His background in character design is evident in his illustration style; strong characters and lively illustration concepts are his main specialty.

In 2020, Finbar branched out into freelance work and moved to Germany to work as a designer and illustrator. Finbar now works out of his studio in Cologne and when he’s not illustrating or drawing, he’s busy learning German and taking long walks in his local park to find inspiration for his next drawing or illustration.
