Anton
Emdin
Cartoonist (Sydney, NSW)
Based
in Sydney, Anton is an illustrator / cartoonist / animator / designer
who likes to dabble in a range of styles and disciplines, but primarily
calls himself an illustrator.
After graduating form the College of Fine Arts (Paddington,
Sydney) with a BFA under his arm, Anton gained employment as a freelance
graphic artist, as well as producing comic books in the Australian underground
scene.
Cutting
his teeth (and continuing to do so) on underground comix, Mr Emdin (or
"a" as he frequently signs) has developed a fresh, accessible
style, with strong colour and confident lines.
Anton
has worked in a variety of media, including newspaper cartoons, magazine
illustrations and comic strips, web, print,and logo design, online interactives
and television animation. He uses a mix of traditional and modern styles
to create his work, depending on the desired outcome.
In
most cases he will sketch in pencil, then use brush and India ink to
render the black and white art. From there the image is scanned, touched
up, and coloured electronically. Variations
of the colour process include hand colouring using paint, gouache, or
even pencil. On some occasions, Anton will 'trace' the image electronically
to provide a 'vector' (line, not bitmap) image.
Anton
lives and works in Sydney, Australia with his wife Ash, his pug pup
Corkey, and that cat that sometimes shows up to be fed; Johnny.
