GAVIN MOULDEY found his passion for art when still scribbling and exploring paint splats. While cartooning for newspapers as a teenager he learnt that messy accidents often improved his art. After completing a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, Gavin lived around the world while drawing for journals, books, greeting cards, animation, games and walls. Eventually he returned to New Zealand to build a nest by the sea, where he illustrates full time. In his spare time he makes paint splats with his kids.
