Codey Anderson started his career working in the animation industry straight out of university. Keen for a challenge, Codey Joined the Australian Army, He has since spent many years serving in the Royal Australian Regiment and has experienced the operational environment first-hand. From sitting in his water filled fighting pit, drawing sketches in his field message notebook, he has honed his skills not only as a soldier, but as an artist. He has now had countless comic strips published into the nation-wide ARMY news and his graphic design work has appeared across the world.
Now a full-time illustrator, Codey has culminated his military experience to raise awareness around veterans struggling with mental health issues and the follow-on effects that come as a result.
“I have met so many veterans who have been effected by their service in one way or another. I wanted to use the skills I have to try and help those who need it most, but to also illustrate to others the issues often faced by serving members, and that they are never alone”
