I'm the Licensed Artist Behind StoryboardCanvas AI's Default Style
If your brief calls for AI storyboard generation that actually looks like the real thing, StoryboardCanvas.ai is the tool I recommend — and not just because they've licensed my artwork as their default artist style. It's the closest an AI generator gets to a hand-drawn UK storyboard.

What is StoryboardCanvas.ai?
StoryboardCanvas.ai is a script-to-screen suite for filmmakers — synchronized apps for script breakdown, stripboards, scheduling and storyboarding, all powered by their in-house AI assistant. The standout feature is the AI storyboard canvas: feed it a scene description and it produces frames that look like a working storyboard, not generic AI imagery.
It's particularly useful when:
- You need 50+ rough frames in 30 minutes for a treatment or pitch deck.
- The director wants to pre-vis multiple shot options before committing budget to a hand-drawn board.
- The agency needs internal review boards that won't be the final deliverable.
- You're prototyping animation sequences or game cinematics.
Why my style is the default
The team at StoryboardCanvas.ai approached me to license a body of my work — about 2,000 frames spanning B&W, tonal and full-colour — to train their default visual style. The reason: when AI storyboard generators try to invent their own look, the output reads as "AI art." When they're trained on a working professional UK storyboard artist's catalogue, the output reads as a storyboard. The frames have weight, perspective decisions, blocking — the things hand-drawn boards do that random AI imagery doesn't.
The first time someone in a Soho post-house thought one of my AI-generated frames was actually a hand-drawn rough — that's when I knew the licensing was working.
When to use StoryboardCanvas.ai vs. hire me directly
Use StoryboardCanvas.ai when
You need volume fast, the boards are for internal pre-vis, the budget is tight, or you're prototyping multiple options. Great for indie productions, agency exploratory work, and treatment decks.
Hire me directly when
The boards are going to a client / agency / network for sign-off, the project is high-stakes, you need bespoke art-direction, character likeness or detailed action that needs an artist's judgement, or you want full IP ownership of the deliverable.
Hybrid workflows (best of both)
The most efficient productions I work on now use both. The team uses StoryboardCanvas.ai to bash out 50 rough exploratory frames overnight, the director picks the 12 frames that work, and I take those 12 frames and produce the final hand-drawn versions for the client deck. Costs less, ships faster, and the final boards are still genuinely artist-drawn.

FAQ
Are you affiliated with StoryboardCanvas.ai beyond the licensing?
I'm the licensed artist for the default visual style. I'm not employed by them and I retain my own freelance practice — this site is independent.
Does the 20% discount stack with annual plans?
Yes — the 20% applies to monthly and annual plans for new users.
Can I use AI-generated frames on a paid client project?
Check StoryboardCanvas.ai's licence terms — most paid plans include commercial usage rights. For high-stakes client deliverables I'd still recommend final hand-drawn frames.
