Kid imagination Commission

Stoked to share this fun commission I worked on recently! 
I was asked to create an imaginative shadow of a kid full of fun bright and colourful ideas and themes. It was a blast to put together the combination of items, I used to love getting lost in the intricate illustrated kids picture books when I was growing up. I'm stoked to have this piece in the kid's room and hope to inspire and excite his imagination as he is growing up.

Maybe you've got ideas for your own custom artwork like this, have a look at other examples and get in touch.

Jack Daniel's Container Collaboration

The team from Jack Daniel's got in touch with me about painting some shipping containers for their Bar that Jack Built on Tour campaign. The concept for the campaign was to create a travelling bar/party that fans of the old No.7 could be a part of. The trucks would drop off the containers in 7 towns between Melbourne and Sydney. Then the locals would come in and supply furniture or labour in return for tix to the event and be a part of the action. 

Last year I was involved in the Jack Daniels Birthday -Bar that jack built campaign too. Here's a really thorough link to the process behind it.  
And here's my Jack Daniel's Birthday painting. 

Private Phoenix Commission

TC Tee's

Commission for Sydney local brand TC tees, who are doing rad work using local artist for original designs. Came up with this nifty little number that comes in any colour as long as it is black.

They were also cool enough to host a short 'about me' section on their website. Rad dudes.

Rob McWhinnie Custom Downhill Skateboard Helmet

The speed demon Rob McWhinnie hit me up about putting some new ink on his stark white downhill helmet. 
I  was keen to get some video action of this daredevil screaming down mountains, and pulling elegant, high speed turns. 
I liked trying out a new surface, the curves were a challenge, and keeping the stripes straight was a tricky challenge. 

Cheers to my friend Azure Mysterious for the photography.

First Inked Tattoo Design

I'm stoked to see my first UD3 design inked into a human. The friendly polish Jan volunteered his torso to go into the studio and get tattooed. Just to be clear, I had no involvement in the actual application of the design. 
He was stoked, and I'm very happy to reveal this one. 

Custom Surfboard Painting

A mate and I started shaping surfboards just over a year ago in my mums garage. This is one of the latest designs that Samo had a stab at shaping. He was kind enough to let me unleash my poscas on his freshly glassed ride. The results were pretty great I thought.
