Hi there!
I'm a Melbourne-based freelance illustrator, animator, and designer with a passion for creative and quirky projects.
After having taught into the field of animation and game design at RMIT for five years I decided 2020 was the year I take the big plunge into full time freelance. What a time it has been!
This year I have been working on a series of books with Scholastic that I’m looking forward to sharing soon. I’ve also been working on a short TV series for ABC Me, cover designs for some scientific journals, character designs for many animated projects along with a wealth of passion projects of my own.
If you would like to work together or collaborate on an upcoming project, I’d love to hear from you!
Client Work
I love to collaborating on all manner of different projects whether traditional, digital, static or animated. Below are some of my most recent, shareable works.
PENCIL PALS
Recently I had the pleasure of working on a short animated TV series for ABC Me, created by Pirate Size Productions. I was key illustrator for the 2D segments of each episode.
All episodes can be streamed on ABC iview.
OUTBACK WARRIORS
In 2020 I had the opportunity to collaborate with an up and coming screenwriter, Bucky, on his project Outback Warriors.
As part of the development of a pitch bible, I designed a full cast of characters and concept art for the broader world.
Reach out to Bucky Andrews for more
information on the project.
SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL COVERS
Featured here are a couple of cover designs for different scientific journals that I have illustrated for Patton'd Studios.
DHHS CHARACTER DESIGNS
Working with the team over at Smoosh Creative, I was tasked with designing a cast of characters for a DHHS explainer video.
While the video has not yet been released, you can have a squiz at some of the characters here!
EINZELHANDEL TRIBERG (EHT)
Further work for my friends in Triberg, this time for their side hustle that translates loosely to Retail Triberg. A social community for the store owners in the small Black Forest town.
I was commissioned to do some artwork that included all the key stores from the neighborhood, taking necessary liberties in layout to fit everyone in!
KINDERLEICHT ENGLISCH ILLUSTRATION
In 2019 my partner and I had the opportunity to do some illustration work in the Black Forest in Germany. We were working with a small independent school that teaches English language - Kinderleicht Englisch. We were tasked with illustrating the world of The Little Troll and all his local Triberg friends.
The style had been developed prior to us coming on board, our role was to develop all manner of additional assets for English learning activities.
TILLY AND GUS
Our Friend Bloom
In 2019 I worked with the Pirate Size Productions team, assisting on some animation for a short that was commissioned by Sesame Studios.
ILLUSTRATION
DAILY DRAWING CHALLENGE
As part of my warm up into a working day, I challenge myself to do a quick drawing from a written prompt. The goal to get out ideas quick a loose, while trying to tell a bite sized funny story. Above are some of my favourites.
ZINES
These are a sample of the Zines I have made annually for the Festival of the Photocopier, a Melbourne event run by Sticky Institute.
More information about these and my many other zines are available in my shop.
ANIMATION
Passion Projects
When not working on projects for clients, I work on my own illustration and animation. Below are some of my most passionate of passion projects.
