About

Hello!  I'm Anton, and thanks for finding your way to this page.  I'm an illustrator, and comic artist living and working in Sydney, Australia - for a local and international market.

Here's a little summary of what I do:

Advertising & Commercial Illustration
Magazine / Editorial Illustration
Book Art
Company Mascots
Character Design
Band & Album Art
Custom Art for Business & Products
Gift Caricature

At the moment I'm drawing for advertising with a lot of regular magazine and editorial, with the latest clients including MAD, BillboardThe Spectator, Penthouse, and GQ.

In the last 20 years or so of solid freelancing I feel I have gained a lot of experience, but am not content to be idle. I'm constantly striving to improve my skills; experimenting with form and style. I believe that we should never stop learning.
