SKAFFS is an Australian artist based in the USA who creates for a multitude of platforms. His illustrations and animations are distinctive with defined lines, elaborate detail, and intensely vibrant colours. SKAFFS is a collection of work made up of art, animation, games, books, skatedecks and collector toys. While the scope of his work is extensive, it is bound together through his unique and dynamic style; a style that has led to worldwide exhibitions, a number of awards, and collaborations with high profile artists including Theodore Geisel and Maurice Sendak and companies such as Disney, Coca-Cola and Facebook.
In 2009, Luke launched his latest project, a limited edition art book “Chaff n Skaffs: Mai and the Lost Moskivvy”. Desktop Magazine describe the book as “the perfect conduit for Feldman’s imagination combining his waif like lasses and charming characters with the beautiful, yet unpredictable realm that is the unique Australian environment.” Discover a new kind of heroine and a world of visual delight that Flavorpill described as a “childlike wonder and crisp exaggerated colors.”
Luke has joined up with Start Mobile to expand the Mai portfolio from the limited edition book, collector toy and giclee print, to a giant vinyl adhesive form.

“Luke Feldman's artwork blends the classic stylings of 1950s Disney with a modern design sensibility to create something both cutting edge and timeless.”
- Andrew Farago, Manager & curator, San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum Gallery
“Indeed, one might contend that Feldman is to digital art what Tim Burton is to cinema, or Dr. Seuss is to children's books, as each artist has a distinctive, unmistakable style.”
– Hans Fink, Los Angeles’ Skinnie Magazine
“...display beauty, humanity, sexuality encapsulated by mystery and darkness”
- San Francisco Art Magazine
“Luke Feldman’s instantly recognizable ‘Skaffs’ creations comprise a heady mix of bright colors and razor sharp style mixed with an underlying, almost tangible naivety that make his illustrations easily identifiable in a world where originality is not as easy to find as you might think.”
- Jo Spurling, author and editor of Desktop magazine
