Born in Melbourne, Australia but I grew up in Sydney. Despite selecting the option for 'male' in my 'gender category in this profile for some reason it lists my gender as 'null', which is a bit of a worry. But it really is male.
I worked for 10 years as a cartoonist, author and illustrator before the lure of computers drew me into cg. I now spend some days helping to make newspapers at The Australian, and when not doing that waste far too much time exploring 3D.
As a cartoonist and illustrator my work has been published in lots of places, including The Sydney Morning Herald, Sun Herald, Australian Women's Weekly, Reader's Digest, The Australian, Australian Financial Review, The Bulletin and Penthouse, and has also been syndicated internationally, being translated into several languages and appearing in many countries and more than a hundred books. My cartooning has won major awards and I've also been a judge of major cartooning awards (not the awards that I won). More than 10,000 of my cartoons were published so you can perhaps forgive me if I don't remember them all.
I like nature and science stuff a lot and I like bushwalking. No really. Everyone says they like bushwalking but I actually do. While bushwalking I seem to be incapable of walking past a critter without photographing it, but that's something I'm working on. I'm convinced that people need nature more than nature needs people.
