If I had a list of things to do before I die/hit 30 one would be to find an illustration agent to represent my work. It has been an on-off ambition of mine for years to find an agent.
Yesterday I signed up with Illustration Room and will now be exclusively represented by them in Australia and non-exclusively worldwide. I'm really excited about this and it is a big achievement for me because drawing has been a life-long passion and I am completely self taught. As a kid I used to watch Rolf Harris and Tony Hart draw a lot.
This coming year I hope to illustrate for more editorials and see my work pop up in every day surroundings such as newspapers, websites, magazines and fabrics. The above portrait is part of an on going illustration collaboration with Gary Pepper Vintage.
