A NOTE FROM THE CONCEPT ARTIST
Q&A WITH ILLUSTRATOR EMILY JOHNSON
Still in her early twenties, living and working in Sydney, Emily has been involved with the project through its development. Her drawings have helped shaped the look of the costume designs by STC Resident Designer Elizabeth Gadsby and the visual effects of the show created by Melbournebased collective Oh Yeah Wow.
What has being part of Blackie Blackie Brown been like? Working on Blackie Blackie Brown and with Oh Yeah Wow in Melbourne on the animations has been a dream come true. I’ve seen my drawings come to life! And I think black content that questions the Australian national narrative is really important, now more than ever. And to have it written, designed and acted by strong women in our community has been such a great thing to be part of.
When did you start illustrating? My grandfather and father are both Barkindji visual artists who inspired me a lot, my mum also encouraged me from a young age to be creative and I have been drawing cartoons non-stop ever since I can remember.

#BLACKIEBLACKIEBROWN
What inspires your drawing? I’m inspired by sci-fi and fantasy as well as Japanese animation. Growing up, I was really frustrated with the lack of representation in comics and media that I couldn’t see myself in, so eventually I just started drawing my own.
Emily Johnson is the talented young illustrator behind the concept art for the projected animations in Blackie Blackie Brown: The Traditional Owner of Death.
