Blinkink has added New York-based director Liam Archibald to its roster for worldwide commercial representation. This marks his first signing with a production company, Known for crafting cinematic 3D worlds, Archibald brings together character, atmosphere and lighting with an instinctive approach to motion that drives each project forward.
Born and raised in New York in a culturally rich Trinidadian-Puerto Rican household, Archibald is a Rhode Island School of Design graduate whose work spans 2D and 3D, blending intricate detail, playful surrealism, character and humor,
With a background in illustration, Archibald brings a meticulous eye to his animation. His 2D drawings are so detailed and dimensional they almost feel like they could step off the page, while his 3D work brings that same level of craft into colorful, expressive worlds often rooted in humor.
From his kaleidoscopic music video for JAWNY’s “Running” to work for Moncler, Billionaire Boys Club, Google, Snapchat, ASICS, Foot Locker and Netflix, Archibald is already making a name for himself among leading brands and artists.
Archibald said, “As a kid, I’d spend hours hidden away in my room, drawing and animating, not even knowing it could be a career. Blinkink has always felt like a place where that same childhood play is taken seriously. A place where strange ideas are given the care they deserve. That integrity took years to build, and them taking a chance on that kid to uphold and add to its legacy means a great deal to me. I’m grateful to be here, and excited to get to work.”
Blinkink executive producer Joe Byrne, said, “Liam is one of the most talented young animation directors in the world. We’re so excited to have him join our Blinkink roster and be part of our NYC director crew.”
