Two Ibis having a chinwag and a good time sharing a hot cuppa, this is what being mates is all about.
After answering an EOI from St Vincent de Paul’s chapter in Sydney, I was lucky enough to be selected as one of the artists included in their new Brougham Lane street gallery.
The brief was fairly straight forward, speak of tales of the area, ideas of community and connection, or of the local natural environment. The concept behind my piece to portray connection and friendship using a couple of feathery locals as the main subject matter. There is nothing quite like connecting with a friend or stranger over a hot cup of tea (or coffee) and sharing stories of your life.
This new street gallery was an initiative by Vinnie’s Ozanam Learning Centre (Wooloomooloo), with support from Artspace, The Holiday Inn and Taubams Paint. The idea behind this project was to not only liven up streets in the neighbourhood but to create an opportunity for connection within the community. Artists from all over NSW worked side by side to bring some flare to this laneway, seasoned vets, budding creatives and artists from the nearby Ozanam Learning Centre.

Vines, nakedness, Aussie idioms and a rescue dog named Dude, Alicia and Mark from Borachio are belting out natties from Mt Lofty Ranges.
Keeping intervention to a minimum, Borachio give their grapes complete freedom to tell their delicious stories, and delicious they are.
Working with Alicia & Mark, we created a range of labels featuring classic Aussie animals partaking in scenes that invoke hilarity and are guaranteed to make you giggle over a glass . . . possibly even leak a little from your nose.
Borachio, guaranteed to make drunkards out of the best of us, and I am not complaining.

To get Australia’s largest postal service provider to go 100% carbon neutral, that was Sendle’s goal. Themselves being carbon neutral since fruition in 2014, Sendle wanted to challenge Australia Post to honour the wildlife they so proudly feature on their stamp collections and do the same, go carbon neutral.
Design agency Republic of Everyone were at the helm to create and deliver such a campaign. I was selected as the illustrator to help them. My brief was to select and illustrate 4 iconic Australian native animals to be featured on Sendle’s new campaign paraphernalia and to highlight the dire circumstance we have put their lives and habitats in, they were to be wearing gas masks.
Since its launch the campaign and Republic of Everyone have been shortlisted for a DA&D Impact award in the ‘Environment and Sustainability’ category. This campaign was also featured in Lurzer’s Int’l Advertising Archive Worldwide.

I love painting and I love nature. What better than to see one of my own illustrations go up at such a big scale on a wall.
Wanting to bring some life to a rear laneway of their retail and hospitality complex, our client over at Iceworks, Willoughby gave us one image of a gum leaf as a starting point for this mural. I took that narrative of natives and I ran. I based the artwork for this mural off of my long history, and love of illustrating Aussie florals. From luscious banksia, robust waratahs and calm gums, this wild bouquet is a love letter to the plants in our backyard.
This mural was painted with Mielo for Iceworks in Sydney’s Willoughby.

The furriest, scaliest, featheriest and messiest body of work yet, Don’t Play With Your Food!
This body of work was created specifically to brighten the long and sometimes looming hallways of Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick for their young patients, loving families and tireless staff alike.
Enter the foods, the mess, the splashes and spills, the twirls and chomps. “Don’t play with your food!” a parental warning ingrained in our youth.
Next, welcome the chorus line of charismatic Aussie animals and foods of the world, and this is what you get. Renowned for our unique flora, our quirky fauna and cheery disposition, Australia is home to many peoples from across the globe. From the furthest north, the southest south and all the lands between and beyond, many different cultures call Australia home. With every culture that helps to build this quilt of modern Australian society, comes delicious and iconic foods. And what better way to explore such iconic nibbles in Australian culture than to invite some vivacious characters to enjoy their flavours.
Who better to enjoy the giggles, relate to the mischief and revival in the hilarity of such ideas than the young patients in Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick. This body of work was created specifically for this strong group of young Aussies, to brighten the long and nervous journeys down the daunting hallways and to provide, hopefully, for just one second a little bit of laughter in a hard journey.
A laugh or a smile is all that Don’t Play With Your Food hopes to achieve. From the patients, their families and supports and the hard working staff. All of whom work incredibly hard, beyond human capabilities, each and every minute of every day.
