Recognised as world's most versatile- Leuzer's Archive 'Best 200 Worldwide'
About me
I am an illustrator, Art Director and Artist working between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. I have 25 years of experience in advertising, design, fine art, publishing and multi-media.
I cut my creative teeth as an illustrator and designer at two of the world’s best studios: Cato Purnell & Partners and David Lancashire Design, both inductees to the Alliance Graphique Internationale, and went on to win many national and international awards. In 2008, five different styles of illustrations that I developed were selected into ‘Archive’s Best 200 Worldwide’ annual. I was also recognised as ‘the world’s most versatile’ illustrator. By 24 I was Australia’s most awarded illustrator and the first Australian to be given a full page credential in Communication Arts Annual. I have also won the top three advertising awards at the Melbourne Advertising and Design Club (MADC) all in the same year.
I have studied a Master of Visual Art at The College of Fine Art Paddington from which I draw upon to bring an innovative and cutting edge pencil to the commercial landscape. Visit https://www.instagram.com/darrenpryce/ for my fine art folio.

Darren Pryce is an a uniquely talented and versatile creative person. He’s extremely strong conceptually as well as a wonderful visual craftsman. It might sound a bit trite, but Darren thinks differently to most people. His brain marches to the beat of its own drum. (That also sounds trite, but it’s true.) I’m sure he’d be a wonderful asset if you’re looking for fresh thinking in any creative endeavour. I have no hesitation in recommending him. He’s a delight to work with too.
Feel free to drop me a line if you’d like to know more. – Cheers, Richard.
I have worked for some of the most successful ad agencies globally and with some very talented designers and creative thinkers, I think Dazza is one of them. I first asked him to design my first tattoo, then over 20 years used him as an illustrator, typographer and ghost art director for my ads and film work. He not only has the ability to think originally but can draw the bloody thing up as well.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Darren, he not only has high level design acumen but imbues it with a marketing psychology that adds depth. He created a unique website for me and constantly ups his game designing eye-catching unique display ads for my Adwords business.

I hired darren to design my website, textile designs and produce Etsy images. He is one of Australia’s best designers if not one of the worlds best at what he does and disarmingly modest and fun to work with.
Darren is a smart mind within a funny and decent fella. He is a pleasure to solve design and marketing problems with and will go the extra mile to unearth a better idea, direction and execution
