Hi, my name is Manu Javelle, i'm a french illustrator and animator based in Toulouse, France. After graduating from Supinfocom Arles back in 2007, I moved to London and I spent a couple of years working on a few commercial jobs. I then had the chance to join the creative team behind "The Amazing World of Gumball", an animated television series created for Cartoon Network. I was hired as the props designer on the show, and I also had the opportunity to design and animate a few other things, such as 2d FX or bespoke designs for specific episodes. I spent about 9 years on this incredible project, working in the London based studio for the first 2 seasons, and then working remotely from France for the last 4 seasons. The show went on to win 8 BAFTAS, 1 Emmy award, and is one of the most successful kids show in the world. 
Since then I had the opportunity to work as a graphics artist for Locksmith Animations on the animated movie "Ron's gone wrong" (Walt Disney Motion Pictures / 20 Century Fox). I also worked on Elliott From Earth (Cartoon Network) and more recently I was the Lead Props designer on the new upcoming Cartoon Network show "The Heroic Quest of The Valiant Prince Ivandoe", at Sun Creature Studio.
I'm a very dedicated team member but can also work just as reliably by myself remotely. Im very eager to experiment with style and techniques and always ready to take on new challenges. If you are interested in my work feel free to contact me!
