COLLABS & COMMISSIONS

I had the pleasure of working with Aussie workwear company and mental health advocates Trademutt in 2022. Trademutt are known for their loud and colourful workwear shirts with the aim of them being a conversation starter about mental health in the workshplace.

After chatting with the team at Trademutt, they gave me a design brief with ideas and what they wanted for this design as well as the colour palette they were wanting to use. They wanted a nostalgic Aussie summer vibe with fun, cheeky illustrations of Aussie animals and classic Aussie summer essentials.

This was definitely a fun one to work on and so stoked with how the design turned out!

The design was used to create a button up shirts as well as a bucket hat and was sold as a limited online release.

I loved working on this project and having the opportunity to be a part of what Trademutt stand for and what they do to bring awareness and support to those struggling with their mental health.

The Milbi Festival is held in Bundaberg QLD and hosts a series of events that run over 10 days to celebrate the regions arts, culture and natural beauty.

The festival is centred around the regions turtles (milbi) for which it is renowned for and promotes awareness, inclusivity and community.

I hosted an arts project for the event which brought many community leaders together to help create artworks that represent the coastal region. The artworks were all designed by myself and then I hosted a workshop in my studio where leaders gathered and each painted an artwork that was pre drawn onto a plywood shape. The artworks were then displayed as an art trail at the Mon Repos Turtle Centre over the period of the Milbi Festival. The event was organised by a local organisation called Wide Bay Kids who teamed up with the Bundaberg Regional Council to make it happen. It was a great way to bring art, community and leadership together while celebrating the beautiful animals and nature our region has to offer.

I was commissioned by Ohana Cider House and Brewery to paint this photo prop board for their local business. I cut the holes out for two faces to fit into and painted the artwork and logo on using acrylic paint.
