Evan Shipard

who I am

At two years and two months Evan’s earliest memories were of scribbling on a piece of paper. First a plane with propellor, pilot, tail and wings , then animals and people — it was obvious this would be his future mode of communication. He has been a concept artist/digital matte painter/art director and illustrator since 2000 working for some of the biggest visual effects companies and studios across the globe in post and pre–production.

He has a strong understanding of composition, light, photography and the digital matte painting pipeline with creative skills to match his technical skills. In addition to a compositing, illustration and graphic design background he focuses on visual development for films, games and publishing media working with Directors and Production Designers.

His concept art/illustration has been recognised in Ballistic Publishing’s art books and online and he prides himself on his traditional oil painting.
