Born in 1961 with Aspergers, ADD and bad Asthma which gave me plenty free time to put pencil to paper getting inspiration from cartoons from the greats like, Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros, Disney and local Australian cartoonists like Rigby, Ken Maynard and illustrators including May Gibbs.
I also have Anaiwan Aboriginal blood in my veins and I feel this affects my art as to my love of animals and link to nature. Many of the jobs I had held prior to doing freelance where art based (to me), from doing shows as a dolphin trainer at Sea World in the 80s to working at Toys R US to Movie World to restoring the garden to its 1930s glory at Saint Bernards Hotel as head gardener....its all art. |
From the beggining |
Where we are now |
Been producing freelance art since 1975 starting with an Off Road magazine and Dynamic Graphics (international clipart), since then I've produced art for a wide variety of needs, from television, radio station logos, tourist theme parks, costume character design, work for councils, sporting clubs, pubs, restaurants, caravan and camping grounds, promotional product manufactures, magazine publishers, logos and characters for big, medium and small business and personal use.

After taking a break from producing due to illness, I'm ready to get back into creating :)
