santopia studios: concept art and illustration

This studio, based in Toronto Canada, is dedicated to the creation of Concept Art. We specialize in illustration and design for television, film and publishing. The experience we have is diverse, with backgrounds in video games, movies and themed environments.
Founding concept artist, Sanford Kong is always open to unique opportunities in the world of Entertainment Design and Art.

The mission statement of Santopia Studios is to enliven the world by creating new and exciting visuals that inspire the imagination of the young, old and everyone in between. All things, even the seemingly ordinary, invigorate us. Great works can start from the speed bump on the road, to the rust stain on a bike chain. The best innovations don’t always come from working inside a cubical, but from thinking and literally being outside the box.
We view art and design as tools to create other realities, that may help better our lives. People are influenced by the plethora of entertainment media. Films, television, video games, books, and themed environments, are all vehicles to enrich our lives with awe and passion.
Santopia Studios intends to be part of this new age of Creativity, which will usher us into an inspired future. We like the theme from the movie, Field of Dreams. “If you build it, they will come.” We would like to continue and add, “If you can imagine it, show it, everyone will feel it, and come together for the experience.”
