A hard-working silly-bugger. His illustrations have been used to brand countless bands, bars and beers. From the full branding of restaurants and bars, to gig posters, apparel design and every form of illustrative branding. He’s the Head Illustrator and Co-Founder of Snake Eyes Studios in Newtown, the studio is within the compounds of the Young Henrys beer brewery (it’s amazing). They listen to Slayer and drink a lot of coffee. He has an obsession with skulls, monsters, Dad- jokes, red meat and stuff with eyeballs. He also loves swearing. He toasts his sandwiches. He prefers chunky markers to biros. And he’s always down for silly-business.
