MANIAC

Behind

Hi, here's Cek De Leonardis, the face behind Maniac. And also the one in the Holy card aside.
I'm a Creative Director, an Illustrator, an Animator, a 3D Artist but - most of all - a creative mind. Maniac is an hub that perfectly enclose my vision about creativity and design: It must be Bold, fresh & sparkling, and able to awake the inner child hidden in all of us.

ABOUT ME

Let's be honest, I can do a lot of things. But if you ask where I can make a difference, the answer is beyond doubt: bringing stories to life that revolve around the brand, frame by frame, drawing board by drawing board.

Ah, you're probably wondering what the ramen is doing up there... nothing I liked and that's it.

EMBRACE THE ECCENTRIC

  • I work with brands globally to create out-of-mind animations, 2D & 3D short graphic novels from which you won't be able to take your eyes off.

  • I craft bold, eye-catching illustrations that demand attention. No fluff, just striking visuals that tell your story with impact and clarity. If you need something unforgettable, we’ve got you covered.

  • I design packaging that doesn’t just sit on a shelf—it dominates it. A work that turns heads and makes your product impossible to ignore. A packaging that sells itself? ok dude, you're in the right place.

  • I create social content that cuts through the noise. Designs that  grab attention, spark engagement, and get people talking. A content that stands out in the feed and make the scroll stops.
