Beans SR

Beans Sr is an animation director based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. During his formative years, Beans Sr received a comprehensive education on weird 80s movies from his older brother, which unfortunately both shaped and warped most of his tastes. Drawing inspiration from janky, animatronic characters in Beetlejuice, Labyrinth and Gremlins, Beans Sr’s work is characterised by his British humour, grotesque character design and the heightened reality environments that his characters inhabit.

Beans Sr sculpts his characters in VR, giving them a digitally-handmade aesthetic. He brings these characters to life using various 3D software, often using multiple programs on one project to achieve his distinctive style. When in the physical world, Beans Sr plays an impressively low standard of padel (the racquet sport) and can often be found running from his demons in and around Amsterdam.
