My Artist Statement

My name is Robin Taylor, I’m a freelance Graphic Designer/Illustrator living and working in Melbourne with a focus on Comic Book art.

I was born in 1986 in the small country town of Seymour, Victoria, of the great nation of Australia. My parents were both teachers who greatly supported and encouraged my art.

Ever since I was eight years old, I’ve dreamed of becoming a great Illustrator. It’s my passion. I don’t care where I have to go or what I have to do to become a successful artist.

I’m greatly inspired by comic books and fantasy art. My first exposure to Spider-Man changed my life forever. I’m greatly inspired by artists like Todd McFarlane, J. Scott Campbell and Amanda Conner. My only hope is that I can some day compare to these idols.

My style consists of powerful bold lines and stark bright colour. My preferred mediums are pen and pencil, but I strive to diversify my skills and improve myself as an artist.

My greatest accomplishment in illustration came in March 2011 when an illustration of mine featured in a novel named Quest Of The Demon by M L Sawyer.

My ideal future involves me living and working in many different countries as a successful comic book artist… and I also plan to own a hoverboard.
