“My obsession with visual arts began at an early age. Probably since the first time I picked up a pencil! I became interested in animation in primary school, drawing frame-by-frame animations in a rudimentary piece of software called Animation Shop Pro. In high school I saved up enough to buy Flash, a more sophisticated 2D animation program. My creations became increasingly elaborate and ambitious, and before long I knew that filmmaking would become the driving force in my career. I followed through by undertaking a Bachelor of Digital Media degree at UNSW Art & Design. It was there that I began my journey into 3D visual effects. I landed an internship at a boutique studio in Sydney, where I greedily absorbed as much knowledge as possible. Soon I had a job at Method Studios, and later Alt.vfx where I was thrust straight into the deep end of photoreal visual effects for high-end clients.”

Toby Zoates is an Australian artist working in the mediums of painting, film, animation, writing, comics, and cartooning. Most importantly, virtually all of Toby’s art is devoid of the usual art-world middlemen. Instead Toby’s art travels straight from mind, to finished form, then finally to a public space – Such as the streets of cities, the insides of nightclubs, and the walls of squats and independent venues.

Pop art presented straight to the populace.
