ILLUSTRATION

DIGITAL, 3D, TRADITIONAL


Fantasy for me is less of an escape from truth and more of a way to understand it. It’s a delicate task to create a reality that is so outrageous you want to believe it. That is real magic.

For all my illustrations see my sketchbook.

PAINTING WITH PIXELS

Since I’ve moved 13,879km from my home in New Zealand, I’ve realized the importance of remembering my roots. Picking up a paintbrush was the first clue to discovering my future, and it’s one I’ll never forget.

LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE


I believe in the details. The unnoticed nuances. The subtle changes and the seamless transitions. The ones that tell stories, the ones that make you feel like you are there. And the power that they have to take you back in time or propel you into the future.
