The Different Folk is an independent artist-first production studio.

At the heart of everything we do is the artist. We’re a home for illustrators and animators: a global collective bound by style, taste and the pursuit of something real. In an age of automation, we stay human. No shortcuts. No algorithms. Just the craft — alive and well.
