After graduating from the University of South Australia, David Cornish took his portfolio to Sydney, where he found work with several magazines and newspapers. Three years later, an opportunity arose there to be on the drawing team of the game show
Burgo’s Catchphrase
. After six years with the show, David became restless, circumnavigating the globe before returning to Adelaide, Australia.
