ABOUT
Ten Round Hen is the illustration studio of Melbourne-based artist Alex Hallahan (he/him), creating thoughtful, character-led visuals for clients who value storytelling, emotion, and creative depth.
With a background in design and a long-time love of visual narrative, Alex brings warmth, texture, and a light sense of humour to his work — often exploring complex themes like loneliness, connection, and transformation in surprising and accessible ways.
Known for his hand-drawn, human-feeling style, Ten Round Hen’s work is suited to editorial illustration, publishing, illustrative branding, product packaging, and campaign visuals. He collaborates with businesses, agencies, and independent brands who are drawn to story-first design — particularly those with a focus on sustainability, wellbeing, or creative communication.
Alex is easy to work with, deadline-conscious, and always curious to explore a new brief. He’s based in Berwick, VIC and works with clients across Australia and beyond.
(Outside of the studio, he’s a songwriter, storyteller and avid home gardener.)
Outside of Ten Round Hen Alex writes and sings songs in bands and writes stories.
