Art - Illustration - Design
Portfolio
Melbourne-based artist with 15+ years of professional practice spanning illustration, studio arts and tattoo with a focus on fantasy popular culture and fan art
Artwork
Painting
While I can paint traditionally in both oils and acrylic, these days I prefer to paint digitally. As I prefer realism portraiture and detailed landscapes akin to fantasy concept art or Magic: The Gathering cards, it is a much more accessible medium; for both artist and audience.
Artwork
Illustration
Recent years strongly inspired by my love of Critical Role, especially my faux animation stills, which also celebrate how influential anime as a medium is to me art.
Artwork
Tattoo Design
Having spent most of the 2010s as a Tattooist, this tends to influence my work. However it is only recently that I've started bringing those specific design styles back to my work. This can be seen the most strongly in my merchandise, where I have a chance to break out crisp, bold lines and usually a design that makes me laugh a little.

Artist Alley
Vendor Application
My artist alley, convention and market experience is minimal outside tattoo conventions, but I hope to change that. Right now I'm looking for opportunities to table with the aim of doing it regularly.As a beginner vendor, I don't have photos from a previous stall for applications. However I do have a rough plan for the setup when I can the opportunity which you can see to the right.If accepted, you can expect to see an array of items like those in my category as well as range of art prints across my styles, plus new things currently in the works.
