Tom Haugomat
A course by Tom Haugomat
When he was young, Tom Haugomat often holidayed in the Alps, which explains his fascination for the immensity of natural spaces. While training in animation drawing at the Gobelins school, he adopted a refined stroke to get around the technical difficulties he encountered. This minimalist spirit is still his trademark today, in addition to his simplified color palettes and his faceless, slightly enigmatic characters.
Now based in Paris, Tom paints, writes, and directs animated films, and has worked for advertising campaigns (Evian, Target, and SNCF), as well as the press (The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, and Le Monde), and in publishing (Thierry Magnier and Tishina).
