LUKE ADAM SINCLAIR

After a couple of days of recovery from the CYA conference I am back at the drawing board and ready to pick up the pace. In a period of about 8 hours I have learnt more than I have in the last 12 months. The is mainly due from me breaking away from my solo practice and speaking to real people about the world of children’s picture books.

A number of major changes are in their infancy, one of which is a major rebuild of my  website. I still like what I have here but I do not believe it is slick enough. So for anybody looking at it until the new one arrives my apologies. The next stage will handle images in a very nice way. So please stay tuned.

I had to link this. Technical skill is always worth looking at.

This is an important gathering which I may or may not be able to attend. If you are an inner north Melbourne artist it is a chance to be involved in some innovative discourse.

Luke Adam Sinclair was born in the bushy, outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. At school he was known as a talented artist who was also an aspiring young Air Cadet. Later, when he moved to inner-city Melbourne, he forgot about flying planes and immersed himself in painting, drawing, and Melbourne’s indie-rock scene. He completed a Diploma of Visual Arts at RMIT in 1997, and graduated from Victorian College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) in 2006. He currently lives in Melbourne’s inner-north with his wife and young son, and works as a freelance artist and illustrator.

Luke began painting and drawing on anything and everything as a child, including his maths books and bedroom walls, and later went on to illustrate a number of small publications for his school and other organisations in his teenage years. His love of techno and pop culture images soon merged with his fine art training, and this playful mix of high and low themes continues in his work today. Luke has also worked as a teacher of art, digital illustration and web and game animation at secondary schools around Victoria. In 2011 he was awarded a Special Commendation for his illustration ‘Birds, Dinosaurs and Monotremes’ in the KokoBlack Easter Drawing Prize.
