I was commissioned by Stolichnaya Vodka to paint a mural for them at The Bottom End Bar in Melbourne, Australia.
The brief was to create a piece that stayed true to Stolichnaya’s roots by creating a bold celebration of Russian tradition and taking inspiration from Russian prisoner tattoos.
I wanted to include everything from the brief while maintaining my own style.

I was commissioned by Beyond The Pale Posters to designed a poster for The Black Keys 2012 Australian Tour.
The idea behind the poster was to combine my style of art with the bands raw blues rock sound of music while trying to create a piece very different to what has been done before.
As a result I came up with this vibrant and chaotic mash up. While trying to incorporate subtle elements that relate to the band (ie submarine) I also wanted that sense of randomness and the "unknown"
This particular poster is screen printed in 2 different colour ways. One is a limited edition print and both will be sold at the Newcastle show October 21st.Illustration, Print Design, Typography2012 -

Pandemonium Paradise was my first ever solo exhibition. Held in conjunction with my artist representation, Just Another Agency in Prahran, Melbourne at the Just Another Project Space.
Pandemonium Paradise is an exhibition that highlights the cynical, raw and humorous characteristics that play a major role in my work. Bringing together elements of contrasting families, the show explores the subtle harmony, delicate balance and precise equilibrium between good and bad, calm and chaos, beauty and the ugly, Pandemonium and Paradise.

Located across the three levels of thLiving in a Glass House presents the work of 50 Australian artists from around the country each of whom had the chance to create artworks on un-stretched canvas.
I was given a canvas measuring 2m x 1.2m to work on and used acrylic and aerosol. The concept behind my piece was the chaotic nature of life and how it relates to a 3 ring circus.

I was invited by Monorex to take part in the Secret Wars competition in Sydney this year (2011). It was held at the Oxford Art Factory in front of about 300 people.
Secret Wars matches up different artists in one on one battles where each competitor has to "out-draw" his or her opponent. You have 90 minutes and a 2.8m x 2.8m canvas to draw what you like with only black makers and black paint.
Much like an MC battle you have to dis the other artist and at the end of the 90 mins a winner is decided by a panel of judges and the crowd vote. The winner then moves on to the next round held later this year and so on until they reach the final.
Unfortunately I did not win on the night but still had the time of my life!
