AMY LOUISE

Amy Louise is an illustrator and sometimes animator from Cork. She spent a chunk of 2020 living in Japan, narrowly avoiding Ireland's first lockdown in favour of eating 7/11 noodles and speaking bad Japanese. Now back in Ireland, she balances her time between illustration, improving her bad Japanese and playing a lot of video games, but never actually finishing them. Her illustrations have been featured on Joe.ie, Entertainment.ie and Glamour.co.uk, and she has written for Screen Queens and RADICL (formerly Radsound).
