Animest 2026
I was Art & Animation Director for the 21st edition of Animest: The Bucharest International Animation Film Festival. Leading the visual direction I concepted and designed the festival’s visual identity across digital and print - including banners, accreditations, tickets, car decals event posters and festival trailer - creating a playful, cohesive look for its milestone year.

Wilson - Always Wilson
This spec project explores the visual and physical identity of the pro tennis tour’s three iconic surfaces: Clay, Grass, and Hard Court. Designed with a DOOH framework in mind, the animation utilizes a modular three-screen layout to emphasize material physics and tactile motion. The piece balances technical execution with a playful narrative nod to Wilson’s most famous cinematic namesake.

Sneaker Industry x Greatest Hits
This project explores the visual identity and intersection of vintage football kit culture and modern streetwear aesthetics. Created for a pop-up exhibition at Sneaker Industry in Bucharest in collaboration with Greatest Hits Shop, the artwork translates classic kit design motifs, bold typography, and archival nostalgia into an event poster and a limited sticker pack. The piece balances tactile graphic nostalgia with a clean, contemporary layout tailored for a streetwear retail environment.

Olá! 👋
My name is Luiz Stockler. I’m a Brazilian-British Illustrator, animation director, and writer working on original picture books and narrative projects for children. My work is playful, warm, and emotionally driven, often exploring connection, scale and small moments.
Alongside writing and illustrating children’s books, I have over a decade of experience directing animated films and character-driven projects for brands, studios and broadcasters.
My films have screened and won awards at international festivals including Stuttgart, Slamdance, Pictoplasma, and Zagreb, and I have collaborated with clients such as Google, YouTube, Red Bull, The Atlantic and CBBC.
I’m particularly interested in creating original picture books and narrative-led projects for children that balance humour, warmth, and visual simplicity.
Thanks for having a look – hope we get to make something together soon :)
