silly colour man :3
A british/aussie artist & designer whos work focuses big colours, big feelings and a lot of little creatures. I’m often exploring human meaning in animal imagery, gender and internal change.I self-tutored as a digital artist and web designer for a almost a decade before beginning my Bachelors in Games Design at RMIT. Including programming (c#, html, pj.5s +), character and environment design and VFX. My projects can be found on itch.io.I've been taking commission art work for many years.My other interests are life drawing, html, prehistoric life facts, birdwatching, tattoos and tattooing, all kinds of bonkers music and camping.
I live and work on the stolen country of the Wurudjeri People, this nations sovereignty was never ceded. Who cared for this land for 60,000 years past, and continue to fight for Land, Water and Culture. I pay my respects to First Nations Elders and their descendants.
Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.

You can provide any inspiration material you feel will help express your idea to me. Suggestions include existing tattoos in the desired style, previous work from me or other artists.If you don't have much for me to go on, that's cool too. I love taking more creative control of these pieces and appreciate your trust.Important to understand:I am making you a design that will be given to you as a digital file, you can take this to a tattoo artist.I always do my best to offer a design that is practical for tattooing, since I am not tattooing you I can't guarantee another artist will accept this design as-is.I recommend you be open to modifications a tattooing artist may suggest so that you walk away with a high quality tattoo.
