Peter Shaw Design Hi! This page is about illustration workshops that I provide for young picture-makers, character-inventors and story-tellers.

I'm an Australian graphic designer, illustrator, and photographer. I've spent my whole life creating unique imagery in many different forms, communicating information using all sorts of media, and managing diverse projects for a wide variety of demanding clients. These include multi-national publishing companies Cengage, Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, Pearson and Penguin - smaller publishers, local businesses - and myself.

I just spent a week in local schools talking about illustration. How good are the Prep-Grade 1 kids? Fantastically enthusiastic - they haven't yet left the garden of Eden. I was standing idly, day-dreaming about how things had gone as the kids were leaving, when I felt a pair of tiny arms around my leg. 'Hello, sweetheart - what's you name? 'I LUUUVE drawing,' was all she said - and ran out.' It's enough to melt an iceberg.

Now, kids that I don't even remember, wave to me from strange vehicles, and stop me in the supermarket to tell me about their latest flick-book animation about their dog / cat / horse / Viking / cow-eating-hare-Viking, using Post-it notes. 'Good on you,cobber / mate!' I say, then think, 'Who the hell was that?' All good - and people wonder why anyone would live in a small town. Question of the week from a Grade 4 boy - 'Why DO you like drawing?' Hmmm . . .

In this dark, gothic story, eternal battle is waged between powerful forces. Creatures made of junk by The Finder defend our world of light from being overrun by the dark side. Eternally vigilant, fighting in subterranean worlds, putting the 'H' into horsepower.

Vagnarok is one smelly Viking, but he doesn't want to clean up his act. He prefers to go raiding in his ship with his rowdy crew. Things turn,and the whole village becomes impossibly polite - except on special occasions.
