Hello
Hi, I’m Jake Knight—a visual storyteller, designer, and founder of Instinct Comics, currently based in Newcastle, Australia.
I’m studying a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design at The University of Newcastle, majoring in Graphic Design & Illustration. My passion lies in telling powerful stories through comics, character design, animation, and all things visual communication.
This website is where I share my creative journey—featuring original comic concepts, portfolio work, and university projects as I build the foundation for my future multimedia studio. Whether you're here to explore my work, collaborate, or just say hi—thanks for stopping by.
My Story
Instinct Comics began as a passion project—born from years of sketching characters, worldbuilding dark fantasy universes, and drawing inspiration from everything I love: anime, comics, superheroes, and animation.
As a kid, I was always captivated by visual storytelling—how a single panel, frame, or scene could stir emotion and imagination. That fascination turned into a mission: to create my own original stories and one day publish them through my own company.
Now, as a full-time design student, I’m building the skills and knowledge to bring that vision to life. From storyboarding and scripting to illustration and animation, I’m wearing many hats to learn the full pipeline of creative production.
This site represents that journey—a hybrid space where my academic work, personal projects, and future business come together. It’s part portfolio, part studio-in-progress, and 100% a labour of love.
Contact
I’m always open to new creative opportunities, collaborations, and professional connections.
Let’s make something great together.
