Tom Schamp was born in 1970 in a small town near Antwerp (Belgium) and grew up in Brussels (for those who don't know: the capital of Belgium). After graduating from the Applied Arts department at a Brussels art school, he spent another year studying Graphics in Poland, which gave him the opportunity to flesh out several ideas he'd had in mind for a while but which he had not been able to realise in Brussels. He gradually developed a style of his own, using acrylic paint on cardboard.
Tom's illustrations are aimed at both adults and children. His assignments come from an international mix of customers, including reknown European children's books publishers such as Le Seuil (FR), Milan (FR), Glenat (FR), Lannoo (BE), De Eenhoorn (BE), magazines (Humo, Playboy); Dutch newspapers (De Standaard, NRC Handelsblad), and various ad agencies. He has also designs posters (Anima, Boekenbeurs, Festival of Flanders), calendars (Dexia, Colas, Electrabel), wishing cards (Plaizier, United Way), annual reports (Solvay, Landbouwkrediet), web sites, postage stamps, etc.
