Louie Joyce

Louie Joyce is an award-winning comics creator and illustrator based on Dharawal Country, Wollongong, Australia. After spending his childhood dreaming of becoming an astronaut, superhero, futuristic bikie punk, enchanted mermaid or something cool like that, Louie realised he'd been dreaming a little too long and most that stuff was impossible anyway. Luckily he can draw pretty well so he's able to experience all those things and more by putting pencil to paper! His comics include A Fistful of Pain (Published by ComiXTribe) Haphaven (Winner of a 2020 Silver Ledger Award, Shortlisted for the 2019 Aurealis Awards, Best Graphic Novel, Published by Lion Forge), Past the Last Mountain (Winner of a 2017 Silver Ledger Award), Astral, A Life in The City and self published books MISHMASH & HODGEPODGE. Louie's illustration work has been exhibited internationally and he works with a wide range of clients creating illustrations for storyboards, animation, publishing and concept development. He also teaches creative art and storytelling clases. When not drawing he’s usually at the skatepark with his kids rolling around on the greatest of all human inventions: Rollerblades!!!
