in profile: becky hunt


Becky is a graphic designer & illustrator who works in Auckland, New Zealand. In her spare time she draws comics for IzakSmells.com alongside her fiancé, Izak.



 
When she was just out of high school, she tripped and fell into the chasm between art and design, recovered from the mortal wound of not getting into the second year of art school and crawled out the other side as an ungodly combination of designer, artist& illustrator.
 

When she’s not working, drawing, or reading, you’ll probably find her trying to get Izak Flash to stop playing video games and give her all the cuddles she desires.
