What's this illustration for?
One of nine signs for an ecologically sustainable exhibition house in Sydney.
Do you have to wait for a flash of inspiration - how do you start?
After asking questions and getting clear what I'm supposed to do with an image, I start sketching. Stuff happens; this leads to that...
How did you get your start as an illustrator?
Copying MAD magazines as a kid - I never got over it. So used to commission myself (after I set up my own Graphic design company), then decided that doing just drawing would be more fun than all the activities peripheral to design. I was right.
Who or what has influenced your work?
Dr Seuss, Maurice Sendak, Crockett Johnson and Chris Riddle.
What's your favourite media for creating pictures?
Pen & ink, and watercolour
Do you experience illustrator's block - if so, what do you do about it?
Exercise or movies.
What's the worst thing about being a freelancer?
That projects come and go - the instability of that.
And the best?
That projects come and go - the instability of that.
What are you working on at the moment?
A signage system, and some image for a mate's website.
