Melbourne-based Tali Gal-on is a web designer, animator and super talented illustrator. She originally studied multimedia - which led her intially to web design, but after a number of years working in this field she went back to uni to pursue a passion for animation at the VCA. Here she made two fantastic little animated films - 'Lucille' and 'Crooked' - both of which went on to screen at festivals both here and abroad. 'Lucille' was even nominated for a swag of awards, including Best Animation at the Sydney Film Festival. Tali's husband Matt is a Musician, and makes all the music for her films - 'it's rather convenient having a muso in the house... I'm sure he feels the same about me when he needs a new album cover!' says Tali!
I love Tali's naive illustration style, and her quirky characters! Each really does seem to have it's own unique personality.... my fave is her 3-eyed, mint-flavoured 'Octogirl' above - she is awesome!
Tali is pretty busy right now! She's currently working part time as a designer / animator at ABC Kids, writing a script for a new animated film, doing some freelance illustration, and has also has recently launched an Etsy shop! Her shop, called 'Milk and Cookies', sells her super cute illustrated prints, greeting cards, and also a gorgeous calendar she has made for 2011. I really think you need to snap up some of her artwork NOW, because when Tali is the next Tim Burton, I'm guessing she won't have an Etsy shop anymore, and you will have totally missed your chance :)
