ROB LISLE | SPEDSY | WRITER

TESTIMONIALS

Creativity is a difficult concept to grasp. A visual Artist can use familiar tools and accustomed methods to create a dazzling piece of artwork and never lean into their own sense of inventiveness. Creativity is the means of breaking the mould or thinking outside the square. Robert Lisle possesses this rare power of originality. He is an inventive thinker, a troubadour and a natural rebel to convention. I have used Rob's brain on several occasions to inspire me, to shake my structured reasoning and to shed new light on stories or picture approaches I had not considered. Through our working relationship my craft has strengthened. As a sounding board Rob is a Centurion, discussions with Rob result in new ideas, motivation and confidence. Aspects he deals out with humour and charm.

At Carter Bros. we use Spedsy for all our cartoons and design work. We've distributed thousands of stickers that he drew of our dumb faces. There's no-one we'd rather be touching butts with.

To anyone thinking of using Spedsy for any type of commissioned artwork - I have nothing but praise for both his work and his work ethics. Spedsy completed a marathon job for me of nearly 30 individual works. He nailed each of them pretty much perfectly from the brief he was provided and was more than happy to make any tweaks necessary to make me happy. The final artwork far outweighed my initial expectations.

I can't recommend Rob highly enough for his incredible artistry. Easy to deal with, flexible and sees your ideas and makes them come to life. Thanks again Rob - without you the Hairy Tog would be still just a thought

One of the most hardworking creators of Australian comics right now, Rob has done an incredible job lettering and colouring the last two issues of Skye's Cavern Library. Not only is his work amazing, he's super fast too. Highly recommended!

Rob Lisle is a wonderful storyteller, which makes him an excellent editor. I asked him to take my horrifically over-written script and find the core of the story and he nailed the brief. His edited script was a sharper, snappier, much more fun-to-read version of a story that had become bogged. Without him, I doubt it would have seen the light of day.

After seeing Rob's creative work on 'The Devil's Toilet', 'Vamoose', 'Satellites', 'Torn', 'Sluggish' naming just a few comics on his resume', I knew he was someone that I wanted to work with. Rob 'Spedsy' Lisle, became the co-editor on 'Battle For Bustle' Issue 4. He brought forward strong suggestions, valid questions and a super keen eye for story telling and detail that absolutely helped improve issue 4. I enjoyed working with him so much that we went on to create 'Ring Around The Rosie' together. Rob is the writer of this series and boy, does he know what he's doing! He's extremely experienced. An absolute pleasure to work with and a supremely talented person and creator with bucket loads full of skill across all areas of comics. I could not recommend him more highly!

Rob Lisle has undertaken a colouring job for my upcoming publication, Air Hawk and the Flying Doctor. He was prompt in his service, charged a more-than-reasonable fee, and (above all) did a top-notch job. I have no hesitation in recommending Rob's work. He did not bribe me to say this.

Spedsy has been amazing to work with. His humour, flair and talent was essential to realising our concept of Parky (company mascot)
DAN WALLWORK - Parklane Group

Rob was an absolute legend to work with. When I first saw his work on some stickers I thought, "I need to get this guy to do some pieces for me". From the get-go, Rob was a great communicator, and quickly turned my crappy stick-figure designs into something awesome. The turnaround time from first contact to end result was seriously impressive, and throughout the entire process, Rob went back and forth with me, communicating openly to make sure that what he was producing matched what I had envisioned. I'm stoked with the end result, which exceeded everything I'd been able to imagine, and will definitely be calling on Rob for future projects.

I recently asked Spedsy to have a look over Lana Leuka, as I was after some guidance from an outside perspective, but that of a fellow creator and writer. Not only was Spedsy informative and honest, but his feedback was constructive and relevant. The pacing in certain segments, and adding in particular moments, really aided the final piece to have improved flow and timing. Much respect for Spedsy and his attention to detail, I would highly recommend his input for your current or future projects
