After acquiring a degree and working in the design industry, Travis was introduced to the whimsical world of commuting and public transport. With extra time to kill he soon gave in to the call of the wild and began sketching frantically in journals in between eavesdropping on random commuter ignorance.
Over the past 10 years Travis has created commissioned works for numerous clothing labels and design agencies and those early influences can be still seen intertwined through his ever expanding folio of work.
In 2007 Travis was lucky enough to speak at AGIdeas about his work
and commuting experiences.
In 2008 Travis formed experimental illustration outfit triiike with two other illustrators, Ben Sanders & Sam Harmer who produce annual exhibitions of their work.
Currently, Travis works as an illustrator/freelence designer and lectures sessionally at the University of Ballarat and is represented by the illustrious Jacky Winter Group.
Along with his wife (Renee) Travis has recently fulfilled a lifelong dream with the launch of Boys clothing label Mister Mista.
