who I am

At two years and two months Evan’s earliest memories were of scribbling on a piece of paper. First a plane with propellor, pilot, tail and wings , then animals and people — it was obvious this would be his future mode of communication. He has been a concept artist/digital matte painter/art director and illustrator since 2000 working for some of the biggest visual effects companies and studios across the globe in post and pre–production.

He has a strong understanding of composition, light, photography and the digital matte painting pipeline with creative skills to match his technical skills. In addition to a compositing, illustration and graphic design background he focuses on visual development for films, games and publishing media working with Directors and Production Designers.

His concept art/illustration has been recognised in Ballistic Publishing’s art books and online and he prides himself on his traditional oil painting.

In 2010 Evan created Cartel Artists, growing from an existing collective of talent from Sydney. The idea spawned from the need for a studio space that was conducive to creativity- a space where the digital and traditional mentality could be fostered with like-minded artists. The boutique has provided art and assets to some of the biggest film, game and commercial productions locally and abroad.
