Léon Moh-Cah for The Standard

Léon Moh-Cah is a French 2D animator and sketch artist, interested in the beauty of everyday life. Her practice, mixing digital and traditional techniques, uses daily observation and travels as a main source of inspiration.

After completing BAs in graphic design and animation in Paris, Léon went on to study an Animation Masters at the Royal College of Art before embarking on her globetrotting adventures. Her animations have been screened and won awards across the world, and she continues to sketch, both for clients and herself, which is lucky, because Léon describes her sketchbook as “an extension of [her] arm”. She is never without her kit, the entirety of which fits in a small purse: an A6-A5 sketchbook, a watercolour palette the size of a phone, a brush, a 35mm film can of water, a pen and a pencil.

Check out more of Léon's work in her Phosphor portfolio and get in touch with Trina if you'd like to commission Léon for your next project.
