POSTER DESIGN

A collection of poster art created by me of fanart and original art, to be made into physical prints. In the process of creating the posters, I digitally sketch an idea down first then linework then onto the colour using Procreate App/Photoshop. I like using comic-style linework with vibrant colours in my art, incorporating different subject matter/themes like monsters, creatures, music, pop culture, mythology, sci-fi, the natural world, fantasy, and a lot more.

LARGE SCALE MURALS

One of my favorite projects was painting a large-scale mural of the iconic Santa Cruz Screaming Hand, commissioned by Surface Festival, Santa Cruz Oz, and Black Hops Brewing. It was part of the launch for the Jim Phillips documentary, which was incredibly inspiring — his work has influenced me since I was young.

I’ve also worked with councils including Georges River, Waverley, Hurstville Museum, Transport for NSW, Maitland, and Macquarie-Hastings on murals and public art projects, from festival murals to laneway activations and painted ping pong tables. Recently, I painted a mural at Bondi Beach along the iconic graffiti wall, one of Australia’s most famous locations. LISTEN HERE

Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring under the artist InkHunter (Patrick Hunter) on several mural projects, including laneway activations in Maitland and Mona Vale, murals at the Sydney Sea Museum, and a variety of other projects.

CONVENTION ARTWORK

As a regular exhibitor at the convention, I had the opportunity to design artwork for three shows this year, each featuring a theme that blends Star Wars with various geeky elements. For the Christmas show, I also incorporated festive elements into the design.
