Area(s) of Interest or Expertise:

Drawing, inking and colouring comics, cartoons, concept art, portraits, etc. Got my start at DisneyToon Studios in Sydney as a Cleanup Artist a looooong time ago, now working as an art teacher and freelance gun-for-hire. Other interests: Time with my family, reading, playing sport, table-tennis, watching movies, beach volleyball, and seeking truth.

So far I've only illustrated a handful of published comics (f you don't include the one's I drew and photocopied as a kid). These include: 'The Story of Jesus' for Bible Society Australia, 'Samson;Rise', and the soon-to-be-released 'Border Wars'. But don't worry, there'll be more coming (I think).


My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

My parents were missionaries in Papua New Guinea, and led me to Christ at a young age. Been following ever since. View my personal testimony comic here: http://www.christiancomicsinternational.org/testimony.html#Anchor-44867


Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

Writing and illustrating my own stories, and having them made into animated movies. Would anybody NOT want that?
