Thalan-Harry Cowlishaw

-  Graphic Designer
-  December 2002
-  A ‘happy accident’


Ever since he was described as a “good drawer” by his friends in year four, Thalan-Harry has been working day and night to become the best designer around in an effort to chase that same high.

Born and raised in Western Sydney with VHS tapes and 90s hand-me-downs, Thalan-Harry has always had a penchant for the aesthetics of yesteryear. In particular, he draws heavy inspiration from skate culture, comic books, album covers and those terriblly cheesy TV infomercials you would wake up to at 2:00 in the morning.

Now 22, Thalan-Harry has completed a Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication) at WSU and already racked up a year of experience desiging at Thinkerbell, one of Australia’s leading creative advertising agencies.

When he isn’t designing, illustrating or animating the next best thing, you can usually find Thalan-Harry building Gundam models, petting the nearest cat, or writing third-person summaries about himself.

His book and resume are available upon request.
I acknlowedge the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the stolen land on which I live, work and play, passing this respect on to traditional Aboriginal elders past, present and emerging. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Sovereignty was never ceded
