This is Dylan McConnell
A South African-born illustrator and animator now based in the UK. Ever since discovering animation as a child, he has been driven to tell stories that blend imagination, emotion, and meaning.
Armed with Advanced Diplomas in Animation (City Varsity, School of Arts and Media) and Creative Writing (Centre of Excellence), he combine visual artistry with storytelling to create work that’s both expressive and deeply personal.
His art often explores life through an animal’s perspective or escapes into surreal, dreamlike worlds — reflections of his own experiences and a desire to see beyond reality. As a freelance artist and filmmaker, he is passionate about bringing ideas to life through illustration and animation.
