MURRAY SMOKER

Murray was fortunate to have been born into an artistic family. Both parents were commercial artists working in advertising in the 1940’s-1970’s, he learned a great deal about the fundamentals of drawing by observing and copying their work. 

​

Murray scored a full time job at age 21 as an illustrator for the Department of Education, he found I was constantly referring back to my old Mad mags for inspiration from cartoon masters like Mort Drucker, Paul Coker Jnr and Jack Davis.

​

After 26 years illustrating exclusively for educational publications, Murray then freelanced as a cartoon illustrator for companies both in Perth and interstate, producing hundreds of humorous artwork pieces for the national marketplace.
