Life has many roads - let wisdom decide.

About:
Nathan Jurevicius was born in 1973 in Bordertown, South Australia. He finished his secondary education with an Australian Students prize for art and then completed a degree in Design, majoring in illustration from the University of South Australia. He was honored with the graduate's award in his final year exhibition and 2 days later moved to
the city of Melbourne in Victoria.
Since 1994 Nathan has worked as a freelance illustrator and artist for many international companies and publications. His clients have included Coke, The Wall Street Journal, Nickelodeon, National Geographic, Warner Bros. MTV Asia and was commissioned to design the Australian mascot (Kamone) for the World Expo in Aichi, Japan. Nathan spent 1999 - 2000 travelling with his wife and child throughout Europe and eventually settled in London for a year. It was during this time Nathan focused on creating online projects that have included the ABC's multi award winning interactive
game 'Kelman To The Rescue', the Croatian CD ROM/Online project, "How Quest Sought the Truth", and the recent SXSW Jury Award winning Greek tale 'Orpheus and the Underworld".
His most acclaimed project to date is Scarygirl; the cute but slightly odd little girl who was abandoned late one night and is later found and brought up by a friendly octopus and guided by a mystic rabbit (Bunniguru). The world of Scarygirl is a vision that is filled with psychedelic colours, dream-like compositions and heartfelt stories that recall fables and folklore from our shared cultural memory. The brand since its creation in 2001 has
developed an underground following of fans throughout the globe through it's online comic, numerous limited edition vinyl toys, designer products and travelling shows.
In late 2003 producer Sophie Byrne of Passion Pictures (best known for its Gorillaz music videos) optioned Scarygirl . The property is now in early development for a animated feature film and there are plans to expand the universe into games and publishing.
Nathan is also known for his Scarygirl spin-off toy concept 'Minitreehouse'. Solo shows featuring the brand have travelled the globe with multiple appearances in Canada, Australia, Taiwan, USA and most recently an ongoing exhibition in Osaka and Tokyo in Japan. The Minitreehouse brand characters have crossed various platforms including a series of 90 x 15 second teaser animated clips for the Toronto subway system. These shorts along with work in progress art are currently being screened at the Powerhouse Museum, Australia as part of the 'In Your Face' showcase.
In 2004 Nathan moved from Australia to Toronto, Canada with his wife Lizzy and threechildren, Milo, Arkie and Sass Gypsy.
