Goldie Bartlett on wimmelbilder

One Cool Thing

On this episode, we meet Goldie Bartlett who chats to Hannah Nicklin about wimmelbilder.
Goldie Bartlett is an illustrator and artist based out of Melbourne Australia. She works in paint, pencil, digital media and videogames. Recent games which feature her work include Florence and Movement Study 1, and most recently launched Wayward Strand as part of the core team of Ghost Pattern Games. Wayward Strand is described on their website as a heartfelt interactive story, told in a curious way.

She’s also in the art and digital art field, contributing to graphic novels, and the internationally exhibited Now Play This commission THE GRANNIES which is a documentary short film about Goldie and their pals The Grannies, pushing the boundaries of Red Dead Online. She also produced a beautiful hand drawn map for the merch for Untitled Goose Game.
