House of normal - The creative works of Damien Quick

Damien Quick is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brisbane, working across traditional and digital mediums. His practice weaves together illustration, design, animation, and video game asset creation, underpinned by a strong visual sensibility and an enduring fascination with motion, texture, and organic form. Inspired by the twisting roots of Queensland rainforest trees, the flowing patterns of nature, and the bold, surreal visions of 1970s sci-fi art, his work moves fluidly between the real and the imagined.

Originally from North Queensland, Damien’s creative foundation was shaped by a childhood of frequent relocations across Australia and an early connection to art, music, and technology. Navigating unrecognised learning challenges, he gravitated towards hands-on creative expression, developing skills through high school and TAFE-integrated arts and drafting programs. Over the years, he has worked in sign fabrication, film post-production, animation, commercial photography, and audio-visual production—experiences that now inform his multidisciplinary approach.

Today, Damien works across airbrush, watercolour, acrylic, ink, and modern traditional tools such as paint pens, while also producing 2D digital art and animation for games and other creative projects. Whether building concept art, crafting game sprites, or creating richly layered paintings, his focus remains on dynamic visual storytelling and imaginative world-building.

Now working independently, Damien continues to expand his creative practice—blending analogue and digital techniques to explore new directions and bring a distinctive, fluid energy to every project.
