    Hello there! Jon Kay, cartoonist-at-large, here - I have considerable experience in a wide range of design, illustration and cartooning, story telling and animation techniques; both as a freelancer and as a student of Yoobee School of Design in Auckland, New Zealand. At Yoobee, I have gained qualifications in both graphic design and film making; so I know my way around following client briefs, page design and layouts, pre-press, research and idea development; as well as developing a firm grasp on the importance of planning, attention to detail - and, in many cases, not backing down until a particularly frustrating design challenge has been overcome! In my time in Yoobee’s film-making courses, I have created stories and scripts(both serious and comedic), storyboards and concept designs for short films, music videos, animated TV intros and motion graphics assignments (both my own and working in a group); as well as developing both hand-drawn and vector art assets (characters, props, backgrounds and title screens) for several short animated films, and bringing them to animated life using Adobe AfterEffects and the brilliant little plug-in DUiK. My freelancing work and personal projects also rely heavily on my illustration and writing skills: among other things, I have created parody advertisements, comics and character art for the Fight Squad project; multiple comic strips and comic book stories for my pop-culture-savvy series Cosmos; gig posters for the Auckland-based ‘ukulele collective’ Four Dollars Thirty; and am one chapter away from completing my sci-fi / adventure / humour-drama novel Island of the Bargain-basement Dinosaurs! How’s that for diversity? I love coming up with and developing ideas, and finding creative ways to make a story, character or situation that little bit different - anything that fires my imagination, I’m all over it.....

    I am an incredibly creative person with many skills. My specialties include Digital art, Character design, and 2D animation! I enjoy illustrating and design very much, but my passion is animation. I would love to branch out and animate or create content for other companies, or combine my deep love of music with my art and create some album/single covers. I do poster designs and comics as well. I've also always dreamed of illustrating a children's book. I run my own children's art class for slightly older kids. I've designed tattoos for myself and my friends, and i might as well add that i can sing! I do personally believe i can do anything i set my heart on, so this list may never be complete! -Ruby

    -Freelance Creative Writer: I have a strong genuine passion for fiction. I have been writing since before I can remember and I do enjoy it immensely. I write mainly Romance and Erotica, but love the idea of pushing my creative mind outside of its comfort zone I would absolutely love to work on other projects. Maybe a thriller, or horror. As someone who has loved this her entire life the idea of being paid to do my hobby is beyond my wildest dreams. I really do hope to produce something my client and I are both proud of.

    Hi I’m the Ben Corlett, a creative and passionate illustrator and programmer based in Auckland New Zealand. For the past few years I have been developing my personal Illustration business, selling my art work as T-Shirts and art prints. Alongside this I worked in the programming industry for 3 years developing Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences based on client briefs. Art and illustration has always been a big part of my life it’s what drew me to my degree, the Bachelor of Creative Technology, which studies the intersection of art and technology through practical research into areas of interest. It was during my degree where I was introduced to and discovered my love of programming. Now days I look for work jumping between these two fields using my expertise in one to inform the other to come at the problems from a unique perspective.
