Hello there. My name is Robert Luckett and I am a freelance creative mercenary for hire. I’ve worked in so many different fields across the creative industries from writing to illustrating, animating and more that it just became easier to describe myself this way! I currently live in Leeds (UK) with my talented wife Rachel Connor.

Beginning my creative career while still in secondary school, I wrote and illustrated a webcomic in the early 00’s. Having a passion for videogames since the age of six-years old and unwrapping a Commodore 64, it was a surprise to nobody that my degree at Lincoln University (Hull campus) was a BA Hons in Games Design where I graduated with a 2:1 in 2006. While there I also self-taught myself animation skills with which I created a full animated pilot based on my old webcomic; Waffle X.

Working in London for a period, I worked at a couple of videogame production houses, and worked as a 2D animator and game designer on a Flash web-game project or two. I even found myself thrust into the role of producer on a delayed/doomed project I managed to boot out the door. It was a thankless job with long hours, an insane commute, and little accountability with studio owners and top managers. I moved shortly thereafter to Leeds and created my perfect home office, worked some freelance design, and also became a middleweight copywriter during the daily deal boom. Deadlines would often come in the form of “in the next 10 minutes” as I assumed the role of an “Emergency ‘Code Red’ Writer”. This sounds dramatic, but when you’re writing copy advertising the fifth Zumba class going up that day, it’s hard to induce unique interest.

In present day, I’ve come full circle and returned to making comic books. Working with Rachel, I’ve co-written a trilogy of graphic novels based on the Cartoon Network property Regular Show, and created my own action adventure series about fart-fighting, BUMSTORM. I've also worked as a creative planner on an upcoming novel series and helped co-develop original comicbook series pitches in the role of a Big Picture Editor. Recently I've also begun dabbling with animation created in virtual reality. Some may say I’m something of a jack of all creative trades, but they’d be wrong; my name is Robert.
