Brett Bower is one of Australia’s most experienced cartoonists and caricature artists, with a career spanning over 40 years across live events, media, corporate engagements, and public speaking.
Known for his fast wit and even faster pen, Brett creates highly engaging, personality-driven artwork that entertains while offering sharp insight into human behaviour and creativity.
In late 2025, Brett completed a three-country stage tour with James May, providing live artwork and on stage gags as part of the production.
The tour showcased his ability to perform at scale, working in a live theatrical environment and engaging large audiences through visual comedy and storytelling.
Beyond drawing, Brett is a professional keynote speaker who uses cartoons as a powerful storytelling and communication tool. His presentations explore creativity, perception, and how we see ourselves and others, using live drawing to make ideas visible in real time. Through humour, audience interaction, and visual storytelling, he creates memorable, high-impact experiences.
Whether on stage, on screen, or at live events, Brett brings a rare combination of visual skill, humour, and communication that makes complex ideas accessible, entertaining, and human.
His work challenges how people think about creativity, identity, and the art of seeing differently, leaving audiences both inspired and thinking long after the presentation ends.
Brett owns a real cool mustache and his artwork hangs on many fridge doors.
