About • Biography

Hello! My name is Isaac Funkenstein. Im a professional illustrator and animator based in Berlin. Hi there! I'm well practiced in life drawing and specialize in visual aesthetic and expressive posing. My work takes inspiration from J.C. Leyendecker, Professor Layton, Sylvain Chomet, and Dragon ball. I love creating art that feels alive—whether that’s through illustration, animation, or game assets. I’m especially interested in projects that combine narrative depth with striking visual identity, and I enjoy exploring themes of human connection and the every day life, finding emotion in the mundane. I'm also partial to more abstract visualizations of the human condition.
