Professional Artist
Location:

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?
Favorite Comic Creators:
In no particular order (but a little bit in order): Bill Watterson, Jeff Smith, Stuart Immonen, Pepe Larraz, John Buscema, Joss Whedon, Nestor Redondo, Doug Tennapel, Olivier Coipel, Alex Ross, Travis Charest, Joe Madureira, Jim lee, Bryan Hitch, Carlos Pacheco, Jim Krueger, Adam Kubert, Frank Quitley, J.Scott Campbell, John Byrne, Paul Ryan etc etc etc...

Thank you,

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. I am a free-lance illustrator who does art for a number of popular licenses, as well as make appearances at a number of Comic Cons around the country. When I am not working on those projects I spend my time developing self-published works through my christian based art company, Studio Three16.
Thanks, Matt! That David pic is a great image - I was able to check out your other work as well (we're looking at ZooWhiz with my 7-year old, she loves working to add animals to her zoo!)
Things are going well! Thanks for asking. It's contract-to-contract at this moment. Most of my work has been for children's book illustration and graphics/animations for interactive games/books. Right now I'm working on illustrations for more books in a chapter book series that debuted in January (Zeke Meeks).
I've also been exploring work for children's ministry - I have a couple concepts I'm hoping to produce.
We'll see what happens!
What's in the works for you?

I'm 23 now, living with my fiance, the both of us are going to university. My Mum is medicated well now and you wouldn't even know she had a problem, she married an awesome guy that I get along with well and who looks after her. Mum, even while sick, was always deeply spiritual. She was always reading the bible and debating me on topics of religion. I still enjoy debating with her, but she's mostly deaf so it's hard over the phone and she lives quite a long way away. Apart from her, my brother is also Christian, but he's not the talk-about-it type.
Sorry, didn't mean to type so much, haha..
I'm hoping it's a good conversation starter.. Apart from my Mum and brother (who I don't live near) I don't know any other Christians.. I have so much to say about God and nobody to say it to, hopefully this will change things.
Hey Matt, check my page for the pictures of the tattoo. It's a work in progress, only lines so far. Very little changes have been made to your images. Let me know what you think :D
Yeah, going to be a full sleeve on my right arm. I'm getting the pages with the crucifixion and at the bottom on the back of my right hand I'm getting the picture of Jesus with his hand outstretched with the halo design behind.
I'm going to get the tattooist to stencil it on, I want it to be exactly the same.. It's funny, I've always wanted a comic book version of Jesus' story tattooed on me, but never found the right look. Strangely enough I stumbled on your comic in the most unlikely place, it was in the chemical shed at a factory that I used to work, I saw it and knew straight away that's what I wanted. I took it as a sign that God did want me to do it after all. The Lord works in mysterious ways. I'll post pictures as it progresses.
