Work experience
Self-employed
Illustrator of 500 comic pages (pencils and inks) for the psychadaelic/crime graphic novel 'The Boar', written by Lee Roy Kunz and Max Barsness.
Self-employed
I illustrated 135 full colour pages of the award winning, post apocalyptic book 'Evermore', written by Isobelle Carmody. 'Evermore' was part picture book, part graphic novel and received wide distribution throughout Australia.
Self-employed
I worked as an illustrator for the single issue, Kafkaesque comic 'The Boatman'. A technique was engaged that used both linework and inkwash.
I also have illustrated two issues (60 pages), of the ongoing comic series 'The Chain'. A dark, horror comic set in a crumbling mission building in the Amazon. Both stories written by Sean Webley.
Self-employed
I wrote and illustrated the award winning fantasy graphic novel 'Grubby Little Smudges of Filth', published in the U.S.A by Slave Labor Comics. The 160 page book was an intricately drawn fable aimed at readers 12 and over.
