Part of

The Perch

Graphic artist Eirian Chapman’s jewel encrusted illustrations are influenced by her design background and fascination with shapes and colour. When not drawing sexy geometric ladies, she also likes to create elaborate hair combs for make-believe characters. With a First Class Honours degree from RMIT Communication Design under her belt, she was a featured illustrator in Wallpaper’s magazine graduate directory 2006. Since then she has freelanced in a number of design studios across Melbourne. Her clients have included Oglivy & Mather Singapore, Tank design, Lucas Melbourne, Tilt Creative, The Big Issue, Story Communications and Poketo.
