    Julie Olree ✽ Wsx

    My name is Julie and I'm a graphic designer and game developer based in the tech-south of the Netherlands. I create art and designs under the artist name Wsx. I'm the kind of artist who is strongly passionate and really excited about any visual project.

    I graduated in both IT Media Design and Game Design & Technology at Fontys University of Applied Sciences. My works include art, logos, album covers, games, websites, videos, physical goods and help on concepting prototypes. For side projects I'm currently a freelance designer as part of desktopGeneration, and I'm the lead-designer on the for-fun music group Etherflux.

    My styles

    I am mostly inspired by various classic, retro and modern visuals styles for my works, from Vectorheart and Metalheart, to the works of many modern artists. This means that I love working in many different and broad styles. I can work in any style, and as such I am flexible and adaptable for any kind of project.

    This doesn't mean I have not developed my own visual style over the years. I would describe my style as having this unique sci-fi-kawaii thing. I combine this playful, energetic, vibrant and cute aesthetic with modern, clean, breathing and smooth looks. I like to go with vibrant colour palettes, but anything works as long as the mix of chaos and order is balanced. I have come to call this "OVER//CUTE". The overly playfulness of "cute", but also clean form over the playful chaos, combined into one balanced package.

    I am continuesly pushing myself to learn new artstyles, modes of creation, coding languages and techniques. All to improve myself, to make many new different new things, and to be useful to whatever a new project requires. You're never done learning after all, especially in creative fields.

    Personal background

    Born in 1999, I grew up playing drums and waterpolo. I was fascinated by art from a young age. I quickly got drawn into worlds and ways to try express myself. This led me to being interested in a huge variety of things from all over the world, and in many different kinds of styles, genres and forms of media. My fascinations led me to persue graphic design, art and programming in one. I have been creating art since around 2015-2016, but I got properly started near the end of 2018.

    They're my biggest hobbies, but not my only ones ofcourse. I'm fascinated in video games (Nintendo, indies, arcade & rhythm games), anime & manga, cosplaying, card games, plushies photography, and a wide range of music (Artcore, Epic Orchestra, Power Metal, J-Pop, Hard Electronic, etc.). As you might have guessed from my character and logo, I also absolutely adore cows.

    I believe you should never kill your inner child and always try the strangest ideas! This makes it possible to create a future of OVER//CUTE design! Moo!

    I am flexible and open for work!
