Jesse Townsend is a Sydney-based artist whose work blends nostalgia, fantasy, and contemporary design. Raised in the 1990s on Mad Magazine, Nickelodeon cartoons, and the epic worlds of Magic: The Gathering and Warhammer, his art is driven by bold characters and imaginative storytelling.

The son of acclaimed Australian children’s book illustrator Peter Townsend, Jesse grew up surrounded by creativity, developing a strong foundation in traditional drawing. After completing his studies, he worked across fashion, graphic design, book illustration, and fine art, building a versatile visual language.

Passionate about merging traditional and digital mediums, Jesse now hopes to help produce gaming accessories designed to spark the same sense of wonder and fantasy that first inspired him.
