"I don't have a set style, but I do have a method: I gather ideas until I find the essence."

Drawing Style

Humorous with a touch of wit: loose in the sketch, polished and colorful in the final design. Always tailored to the client’s brand identity—that’s my strength.

Biography

Vincent Noël, visual thinker: illustrator, designer, and muralist. My talent for drawing runs in the family—it’s always been a part of me—but I’m primarily self-taught. I taught myself Photoshop on my first iMac and graduated in 2012 with a Master’s in Painting from LUCA School of Arts. That combination—innate intuition and years of self-taught digital skills—has made me who I am today: someone who works just as easily with a brush as with pixels.

After a long period of recharging, I single-handedly converted an old garage into my studio—my dream studio—under the name wildverband. I don’t have a fixed style, but I do have a method: I gather ideas until I find the essence. That versatility is my strength—from concept sketches and illustrations to murals and brand identities—always with a sense of humor and an eye for detail. Today, I’m the in-house illustrator for organizations such as Familiezorg and Creative Shelter.
