We check in with awesome 3D illustrator and animator Jack Sachs

If you don’t already know of Jack Sachs’ name, now is the time to sit up and take note. The London-based illustrator, animator and brain behind that beautiful animation of a workshop that took us all by storm last year was picked out as one of our ones to watch a few months back, and he has since racked up a series of commissions that put his 3D renders and animation skills to the test. Between drawing up some unmissable feature pages for the SS15 issue of POP magazine, and beginning a new and ongoing project for NTS Radio which includes some psychedelic, hyperactive visuals to satisfy even the shortest of attention spans, he’s also whipped up CGI design for the most recent episode of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, and made a clothing design for a collection by Lazy Oaf. What did we tell you, eh?
