Ludo Hartmann, illustrator...

More than 20 years of illustrations

2003: creation of ludoart.com, a small company, first specialised in illustrations, caricatures and comics on every kind of support, the small structure will soon enrich its range of services with graphic design services such as poster layouts, business cards and websites.

Inspired by the town...

The town is one of the illustrator's favourite subjects. Represented as a background for Christmas cards, stylised for posters or even in a destructured and mixed variation, the buildings of the city are a constant source of inspiration.

A broad range of techniques

Always seeking for the most suitable technique for the theme, Ludo turns from the pencil to felt-tip pen, from vector drawing to digital painting, from paper sheet in two dimensions to the embossed design of the pop-ups.

The diversity of the projects to be realised lets him regularly collaborate with printing offices, communications, advertising and multimedia agencies, as well as Christmas card publishers or newspapers.

Among his clients: Companies, foundations, magazines, cards providers, communications, advertising and multimedia agencies, state organisations and private clients.

Among his publications...
