This artist appears not to have received sufficient independent and in-depth coverage to pass WP:NARTIST. The most in-depth thing here is a blog interview, to which I would assign little weight. The rest is passing mentions or material that is published by himself or associates/associated bodies. - BTW, what does appear notable on its own strength (but does not yet have an article) is The Invisible War: A Tale on Two Scales, which he illustrated. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:21, 28 May 2019 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:21, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment he has certainly done things and published/illustrated books. I can't find any evidence that this work as the subject of enough independent, in depth secondary coverage that would meet GNG. I found this, which is a passing mention. It is all about The Invisible War, which indeed seems notalbe. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:50, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, have added further sources of coverage/citations which hopefully illustrate notability within the Australian arts/literary community. Boofhead78 (talk) 10:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NARTIST because he lacks sustained WP:SIGCOV of his life or works and it's not clear that he has had major roles in multiple substantial projects. The limited coverage around him and The Invisible War is just not enough to get him over this bar. Newshunter12 (talk) 06:34, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
