Illustrator:
Phil began life as a very small child and is now something of a very big one. As a commercial creative he’s had the fortune of writing and art directing award winning advertising campaigns for brands like Mentos, Optus, Qantas, Fairfax, and more. This work has resulted in an Olympic swimmer launching a philosophical pool cleaning business, a cow tinkling the ivories with udder dexterity, and a Home & Away star launching a fragrance (Raygrance) that nobody asked for, but everybody wanted. His love of storytelling extends beyond selling wild ideas to clients, having worked on three consecutive Tropfest finalist films. One of which—a statement on marriage equality—has gone on to be recognised internationally. From the big screen to little pages, his love of storytelling led him to illustrating children’s books.
