Martin Brown
Martin Brown was born in Melbourne. Ever since he can remember he’s been drawing. His dad used to bring home huge sheets of paper, which Martin would fill with doodles and little figures. Then suddenly, with food and water, the local state school, Melbourne High and a touch of teachers college, Martin grew up, moved to the UK and found work doing what he always wanted to do: drawing doodles and little figures.
