ILLUSTRATOR / DESIGNER / PAINTER / MUSICIAN

 

Although Jeff is many things — painter, illustrator, writer and Mambo guy he sums it all up under one heading: Pop Art!

 



Watch a short clip of Jeff

He has been playing in bands for longer than he cares to admit and from the mid eighties till the early nineties he toured overseas and round Australia with the Punk Caberet band The Bachelors from Prague. He has had several solo art exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney and has lived in the city and on the coast.

He is currently living back on the Victorian coast where he paints, surfs, plays in 4 bands and writes.



He is the author of a number of childrens’ books — the most famous of all is Schnorky which has been published in Australia and overseas and is the illustrator of CHARLIE CARVER STACKS IT, a funky look at the laws of physics.

His other books include BLOW KID BLOW, TRIP TO TOWN, THE STINKY STORIES (with Andy Griffiths), his young adult book BIG FUNKY ACTION and his latest hit DREAM BOY (Random House).

Jeff’s talks and workshops can be tailored to suit primary right through to secondary (even tertiary)

He can talk about :

  • How to be a MAMBO artist
  • How to paint in a funky pop style
  • How to write and illustrate childrens’ books
  • How to use your imagination for fun and profit
  • How to get a band together and launch a CD
  • How to enjoy surfing at Bells Beach!

We are very impressed! Jeff Raglus was interesting, funny, adaptable and warm to our kids! He liaised professionally with us, arrived on time and presented himself extremely well. He had a good ol' chat at lunchtime and people warmed to his friendliness and humour.
Jeff's background experience for 'Mambo' had the kids impressed from the start. The designs he had to display were terrific and his PowerPoint really let the kids see a personal side to him. Our students related to Jeff as a person and were more than happy to experiment with his ideas on paper as a result. The kids loved his caricatures on the whiteboard.
Thank you, Booked Out for this recommendation and we'd definitely like to have Jeff visit us again!

"The content varied throughout the 50 minute sessions, it was interactive, interesting, amusing and incorporated multimedia. His manner with the students was warm and conveyed interest in them. All staff who attended conveyed positive comments to me. Students enjoyed the sessions, laughed, asked questions, listened and displayed interest."
-Angela Anderson, St Monica's College.
