Hi, my name is Rembrand Le Compte.
I’m a visual artist with roots in graphic design, comics and illustration.
Game Boy photographer & occasional retro game maker.
I have a great love for analogue and digital retro, from typewriters to 90’s handheld gaming. In my creative work, I like to repurpose and explore the aesthetics and limitations they bring when brought into the present.
This ranges from watercolored webcomics to Game Boy Camera photobooks, from atmospheric retro games to miniatures made from plastic trash & plushies from old jeans.
