In this Photo Story we share something about one of our creative team members: Robin Keupink.
“My name is Robin. I am part of the production team at Puredistance. Aside that I also make illustrations, which include certain holiday illustrations that are posted on our social media, and illustrations that are used for specific printed works like postcards or notebooks.
“I made the Puredistance Warszawa lady. I am particularly proud of that one, because it reached so many people around the world as it was used as the main visual for Warszawa. I am very grateful that, at Puredistance, there is space for my passion for drawing, and that I can contribute to the creativeness of Puredistance.”
“I always liked drawing, ever since I was young. I enjoyed putting something on paper that was in my mind, and drawing gave me a certain serenity. When I was an early teenager, I let drawing go for a while because I wanted to focus on music, but with some encouragement of my family I picked up the drawing pencils again. From this point on I started to draw more seriously, and began focussing on one particular style.”
“My main expertise is portraits, both color and black and grey. I have been trying to get better at them since I was 18, and I am still focussing mostly on portraits in my spare time. Illustrating for Puredistance, thus, does not only allow me to use my passion in my work, but it also challenges me to try new styles and develop new skills within my creative realm. Sometimes it is difficult to let go of my perfectionist attitude and my urge to create very detailed drawings. Luckily, the team helps me when I need some guidance to a certain type of style.”
