If a picture tells a thousand words, then illustrators are master storytellers.
Both Myke Mollard and Luke McCallum are natural, innate and gifted illustrators. As illustration and graphics are becoming so generic online with clipart and icon libraries we thought we’d showcase some of our drawings to illustrate our artisan approach to storytelling.
Myke Mollard’s Showcase.
Myke Mollard is actually the bestselling author of “An A-Z of Australian Bush Creatures” and has evolved that title into a range of branded books. His innate illustrations skill has given him an edge over others in advertising and design and his discipline to deliver and turnaround great creative is intense.
Below are his illustrations, demonstrating technical skill, professional execution and a passion that draws on all sorts of references and styles from fun cartooning, graphic novels, corporate graphics to even detailed classic ‘National Geographic’ inspired illustrations.

“National Geographic styled, illustrations that show Under Keel Clearance. The illustrations are hand drawn and like a fusion of science and allow all people to understand the engineering work OMC international does. Cross section illustrations are used in newspapers and in encyclopedia, and in a way we have grow up with this type of illustration so it was nice to tap back into this for OMC International. “

“The illustrations above are a mixture of of commercial and editorial illustrations that demonstrate Wildfire’s capacity and various style approaches to the final result. The Easter bunnies were a best seller and were reprinted a few years in a row.”

“A sample of best selling Australian Author and illustrator, Myke Mollard’s Children’s book illustrations might give you an idea of how Wildfire really develops illustrations and designs as an artisan would. Each concept is crafted to work in a commercial application. This is import and a brings great values to clients.”

“Form Shell to Norwood Systems and OMC International the amount of illustration and set pieces over the years has been a staple design in the Wildfire production department. Yes many people can design and direct good design, but Wildfire can actually illustrate and design end-to-end. Making our studio a unique and immersive experience. A studio with a style and passion all of it’s own.”

“From fantasy to reality Wildfire through Myke Mollard has developed many maps over the years. For Cape Conran’s simple location map to Shell’s Road maps directory of service station locations around Australia in collaboration with leading cartographers at Advertising Associates, to tourist maps for Melbourne City Council to fantasy maps for local author and writer. This is another prized Skill Wildfire is happy to showcase.”

Luke McCallum’ Showcase.
Luke McCallum is a stunning Adobe illustrator artist. Plus he can naturally handle any photoshop retouching. Although his work in Illustrator is both dynamic and strong, his eye for detail, dedicated and methodical approach is so powerful. He’s an artisan. Looking over his work, Luke brings a personality to everything he does and his illustration and graphics are becoming so worth the effort and time it takes to create these elaborate drawings and infographics.
.
“Luke really has the patience and skills to draw and design. An innate illustrator he brings a fantastic quality to the studio. It’s a great day when you fire up the computers and get to work on illustrations like this. It’s not always work when you deliver results like this.”
.
.
“Left to his own devices, Luke’s copy writing and design infused humour and illustrative quality demonstrates his talent in a fun graphic way. “
.
.
“These iconic illustrated infographic icons were developed by Luke to take the best and most recognisable landmarks of capital cities and locals around the world so they could infuse them into presentations to elevate WorldPhone and Norwood Systems presentations. They have depth and character and really show off our studio’s flare.”
.
“Both Myke and Luke can do both styles of illustrations, and sometimes you can’t tell us apart. We often share the tasks in the process to speed things up and this does work well. From the diagrams represented here I think you can gather there is pretty much no style we can’t deliver and no style we can’t mimic for your next unique creation.”
“Wildfire would also like to point out that all these illustrations have been employed in some way to deliver clear visual communications to an audience. Whether for an encyclopedia, Powerpoint or advertising brochure, from icons to elaborate infographis we can tailor or illustration to your branding or design something special and original.”
