Duration: I've been drawing since I was young but have been illustrating professionally for the past four years.

Staff: Just me, my rep Debut Art and my cat most days. My girlfriend and local food joints also help me a lot.

Education: I'm mostly self-taught, but I originally studied graphic design in Auckland, which helps a lot.

Cultural Influences: Travel, food and love. I'm obsessed with everything Asian, especially its art and history, which play a huge part in my work. I also love basketball and play/watch it way too much. Hayao Miyazaki and Kevin Garnett are awesome.

Environment: A spare garage unit converted to studio.

Philosophy: Dedication, persistence and diligence over talent has done wonders for me and my love for illustration.
