Drawing simple, expressive lines to generate an easy, contemporary style, Joseph Carrington has become one of New Zealand’s leading illustrators and today his work is reaching an international audience. From health and wellbeing brands to restaurants, non-profits and even doggie apparel, his imagery works perfectly across a whole range of sectors.
With a background in creating t-shirt graphics, Joe has continually expanded his skillset and broadened his horizons from garments to projects across print, digital, packaging, branding and more.
He loves books and movies, and his inspiration goes back to 1970s Stephen King paperbacks, the Goosebumps series and graphic novels like Hellboy and Sin City. Living in New Zealand is ideal for an artist who enjoys the outdoors. “Nature and birdlife have always been inspiring, from breaking down the shapes that make a pohutukawa flower to the segments of colour and contrast on a tui bird,” says Joe.
