David Woodland
About
I live in Sydney, Australia, working as an artist, author of children’s books, and a concept artist for film and television.
I have had 20 years experience as a concept artist, production designer and matte painter on major feature films, including ‘Lord of The Rings’, ‘Happy Feet’, ‘Moulin Rouge’, ‘Thor’, ‘Pacific Rim’, ‘Legend of the Guardians’ and the ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ arena production.
I have written and illustrated ‘Sharkman & Blowfish – World Domination’ (a graphic novel for ages 6–10), and ‘Ernie’s Journey’ (a picture book for ages 3–6) both selected for the School and Libraries program in Australia and New Zealand.
My creative history is an exhibiting artist, animator, character designer and production designer for contemporary dance and puppet theatre.
Awards include a VES film award, Cannes Lions Grand Prix, and a prestigious Churchill Fellowship.
Education: Curtin University: BA, Art - Fine Art & BA-Design. Institute International de la Marionette (France): Traditional Techniques, New Technologies course.
