MORGAN EMRYS
I am a Melbourne-based artist with a keen interest in ‘Background Art’ and commercial illustration. I grew up in Perth, Western Australia where I enjoyed doodling incessantly and absorbing Cartoon Network in my downtime.

More recently, I create artwork that sets the scene for epic stories to take place. I want to collaborate with animators and writers, and ground their worlds in exciting versions of reality.
