About Portfleet

~~ Creating sustainably in rural Ireland ~~ I am Portfleet, an illustrator and animator based in Co. Cork, Ireland, originally from The Netherlands. I create cards, prints and commissioned portraits and tattoos. These works are made with watercolours, oil paint, coloured pencil, Indian ink and fine liners to create whimsical characters and worlds. I want to make beautiful things, but not just add more stuff to the world. Therefore, in order to keep my footprint low, I stay away from plastic packaging and use recycled materials and tree-free paper where possible. For instance, except of some older designs, all my cards are printed on either Paperwise paper (100% made from agricultural waste such as stems and leaves, so paper free!) or Shiro Echo paper, which is 100% green energy and zero emissions paper made from 100% recycled fibre.Read their story
