Biography
Williams was born in Armidale, New South Wales[1] on 28 March 1974.[2]
Williams began his professional art career in 1994, when he together with Glenn Lumsden, David de Vries, David Heinrich and Rod Tokley established Barossa Studios,[1][3] a co-operative of comic book artists, doing artwork for magazines like Picture, People, Ralph, The Australian Financial Review and The Bulletin.[4]
Williams has worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics on world-renowned titles such as Wolverine, Catwoman, Batman: Shadow of the Bat, R.E.B.E.L.S. with Michal Dutkiewicz and The Phantom with Lumsden and de Vries.[5]
By 1997 the Barossa Studios cooperative had dissolved and Williams went onto collaborate with writer and musician, Baron Misuraca (Sheer Terror), on the gothic rock horror comic, In Flesh and Spirit[6][7] and on The Wolf’s Empire, in collaboration with Claudia Christian (Babylon 5).[8]
Williams is currently a concept artist and illustrator for the film and television production company, Angel Phoenix Media and works as a graphic designer and illustrator for the music education publisher, LearnToPlayMusic.com. He is one half of the creative team behind the pioneering and acclaimed, The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo,[9] a serialized, full-colour digital comic, written by Pat McNamara (Angelwitch, Book 1: Dragonscarpe,[10] Angelwitch, Book 2: Triumvirate[11]) and illustrated by Williams. The Legend of Spacelord Mo Fo was created specifically for the digital storytelling medium and is presented panel by panel in a cinematic widescreen format called, Cinegraphic.[12][13][14] Williams has also been a regular contributor to Dark Oz's comic anthology, Decay, with stories appearing in issues 6, 8, 11 and 12, as well as issues 1 and 2 of Retro Sci-Fi Tales.[15] In April 2014 he was a guest at the Australian comic book convention, Oz Comic-Con, where he signed copies of his works.[16]
