Murray Swift
Profile
I started work in as an Art Director in Advertising agencies before working for years as a freelance graphic designer.
I create most of my artwork on a Mac using Painter, Photoshop etc with some help from a Wacom tablet.
I have always been interested in photography and pre computers I would spend hours experimenting in the darkroom, those hours have been transfered to the computer and the huge selection of software tools now available to us.

Almost a vagrant
The copper was a typical Aussie type that was common in those parts, tough, tall, lean, tanned, short back and sides hair and a long straight nose, enormous hands and a dry sense of humour…
I was a kangaroo meat inspector
The roos were rotting and crawling with maggots, surprisingly, after about half an hour the stench didn’t seem to matter…
