Biography

Adam Phillips was born (1971) and raised in Narromine, New South Wales. He displayed a precocious artistic enthusiasm early in life: :"My mother recognized my talent for drawing when I was a toddler, and she maintains that I could hold a pencil correctly before my two legs could support me. I would sit on the floor for hours drawing spiders on my fingers and toes, and filling sheets of butcher's paper with doodles and scribbles."

In 1989, Phillips moved to Queensland to find work, and was later injured in an industrial accident. During his convalescence he dedicated himself to drawing, and in 1993 was hired by Disney to work as a tweener in Sydney.

In 2004 Phillips left Disney "to pursue own interests." Since that time he has produced much content for his Brackenwood setting, including Prowlies at the River, which won the TGSNT competition. He has also continued to do outside work as a freelance animator, writer and special effects designer.
