My Name is Craig and I'm an artist and illustrator from Perth Western Australia.
I began my artistic career working in a tattoo studio while freelancing as a videogame artist on the side. This eventually developed into a career in film and TV, where I have worked happily for many years.
I've always loved art.
It began when I was very young, my parents bgave me one of those phonebook-sized coloring-in books you could get back in the '90s.
Some artists who have profoundly influenced my development are John Singer Sargent, Craig Mullins, Iain McCaig, Kim Jung Gi, Adam Hughes, Brad Rigney, John William Waterhouse, Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov, and Richard Schmid to name a few.
Apart from work, I love getting out into nature for some nice en plein air painting.
I love history, philosophy, psychology, evolutionary biology, and classic literature (especially the later works of Fyodor Dostoevsky).
I'm quite fond of comics and graphic novels too, particularly the work of Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and Mike Mignola.
