Hi! My name is Niek Hendrik. I'm a 2D animator/illustrator with a passion for 2D animation, character design and game art.
In 2021 I graduated from my animation studies at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam with my graduation film 'MIND THE GAP', which got selected by The Netherlands Film Festival that same year.
In 2022 I founded Animation Studio MiNi together with Mireille Kiesewetter, bundling our forces to enable us to tackle bigger and more ambitious projects.
In 2024 I founded Rubber Hope Clothing, an eco-friendly clothing brand inspired by Rubber Hose Animation from the 1920s-30s era.
I have been a director and animator on multiple animation projects for clients like NTR, Omroep ZWART, Uitgeverij Zwijsen, and Alibi Games, characterized by quirky character designs, dynamic shots and clear storytelling.
I specialize in creating animations using a frame-by-frame technique, drawing every frame by hand with great care and attention to detail.
On this website you will find many examples of my work. Please take a look around and enjoy.
