Visual Art – Brisbane

I grew up reading comics and loving artwork. Drawing since I remember I naturally progressed into other art forms. Initially I had intended on being a tattoo artist after bouncing around labour/ construction type jobs (always practising art where possible or for a few extra dollars) but drifted away from the industry with little experience, flat broke and unable to pursue better offers in tattooing. My next venture into making my creative drive into a profession was studying for a diploma in graphic design. After getting my diploma I have worked on building experience and knowledge in the field so as to have graphic design as a backbone for my creative lifestyle but still study and practice more illustration based art forms such as concept art and whatever falls out of my head.
