Phrisk Media to launch Australian art-career features with storyboard artist profile

Phrisk Media will begin a new series on unusual art-related careers, starting with Sydney storyboard and concept illustrator Dean Mortensen. The move expands the lifestyle magazine’s coverage and reflects reader demand for more career-focused content beyond the gallery art market.

Why it matters: - Phrisk Media is widening its editorial mix beyond lifestyle topics to spotlight lesser-known jobs in the art industry. - The new series gives readers a practical look at creative careers that sit outside the traditional artist-to-gallery path. - The first feature centers on storyboard work, a role tied to film, television, advertising and brand activations.

What happened: - Phrisk Media said it will start publishing a series of features on unusual art-related careers. - The first profile will focus on Dean Mortensen, founder of Scenes By Dean. - Mortensen is a Sydney-based storyboard and visual concepts artist. - Phrisk Media is an online magazine run by Australian bloggers covering lifestyle, travel, fashion, health, diet, fitness, home and garden topics. - The magazine also runs practical guides on topics such as choosing a chiropractor or home builder.

The details: - Mortensen has more than 30 years of experience as an art director in the advertising and film industries. - His work spans features, serial dramas, short films and television commercials. - Mortensen also creates visual concepts for events and activation agencies, film production companies and retail brands. - Phrisk Media said reader inquiries prompted the editorial shift toward more art-industry career coverage. - The magazine said the new content reflects feedback from website visitors about the information and experience they want. - Phrisk Media also pointed to a focus on technology as part of how it stays connected with readers. - More information on Mortensen is available at Scenes By Dean. - More information on the magazine is available at Phrisk Media.

Between the lines: - The new series suggests Phrisk Media is leaning into niche, service-oriented editorial that blends inspiration with career education. - The choice of storyboard art as the opening topic signals an emphasis on behind-the-scenes creative roles that many readers may not know exist. - The broader magazine positioning shows a publication trying to retain general-lifestyle breadth while adding specialized features that can deepen audience engagement.

What's next: - Phrisk Media said the art-career series will continue beyond the first feature. - The magazine is likely to keep using reader feedback to shape future coverage. - Additional profiles may expand the publication’s long-running focus on lesser-known Australian industries and companies.
