Biography
painter and illustrator, was born in Perth. He studied art at J.S. Watkins’s school, Sydney. Illustrator on Smith’s Weekly in the late 1930s-40s who made his own charcoal sticks for sketching and ground and mixed his own colours for painting. Although influenced by Daumier he does not seem to have been a cartoonist (though Germaine says he was). With Hal Quinlan, he was one of the few staff employed on Smith’s purely as an illustrator, according to Blaikie (p.103). Stewart says he was 'a bright star of the time with his striking illustrations for the Bulletin '; he is included in a c.1930s list of Bulletin Artists (ML Px*D557 pt 5, '46’). He won Walkley awards for his illustrating in 1960 and 1962—a rare performance. Also won Journalists Club Art Award in 1958 and various art prizes (Easter Show 1962 and Mosman Prize 1962).
