About Me

I'm a COMMERCIAL ARTIST working in the animation and illustration industry. In the past I have also dabbled in comics.

I am originally from Sydney, but lived in Newcastle for 3 years while I attended art school. In 2000 I relocated to Hobart, Tasmania. Then in 2005 I set to rambling and left the country in search of my fortune on the open road. I ended up in the UK (Borough, London) where I lived and worked.
I MOST recently returned to Australia and have set up camp in Melbourne.
