I’m fresh back after a stunning 3 days in Guangzhou, opening my very first exhibition in China. It never fails to be a surreal experience travelling to another country and seeing work and installations that started only in my head be transformed into giant sculptures and installations. The exhibition is titled “Sky Play” and will be running until Nov 23 in TaikooHui, Guangzhou.
Behind the scenes, I had the amazing team from @vcollective_ltd assisting to build the show from the ground up. Many, many thanks to them for their hard work curating and preparing the exhibition (and also for looking after me while I was visiting).
“Chrome Porsche Louger”
In collaboration with @alex.parnassus
Brolga: I was so pumped to continue my Travel Series, this time in collab with graphic extraordinaire, @alex.parnassus . Alex is someone working at the forefront of art and technology to create his stunning visual aesthetic. I’ve been a fan of Alex’s work for quite some time now.
This is the first time that I have collaborated with a visual artist on this series, and it was an interesting creative experiment putting our two styles together. He has a strong focus on shadow and reflecting light, which is something that I’ve been focusing on lately too.
“Midnight Walk”
In collaboration with @kosnio
Brolga: I’ve continued my travel illustration series, this time in collaboration with @kosnio (Andrei Kostromskikh), a mega-talented photographer based in Bangkok, Thailand.
Andrei’s amazing photography and short films capture the very essence of daily life in mega-cities across Asia in great beauty.
It was super cool to get to draw on one of Andrei’s amazing photographs and continue the series.

Should I make a collectable toy?
I’m having fun playing around with my characters in 3D at the moment to see which ones have the most potential as a physical sculpture. I’ve gotten close to making a collectors toy over the years but I’m yet to fully dive in - what do you think about this one?
My latest collab with Cotti coffee went out across over 2000 stores in China and Asia. I drew some nature-inspired characters for this - just the sort of magical things you would see hanging out in coffee plantations. Here’s some snaps from the collab.
New work! The Travel Series continues, this time in collaboration with talented Chinese photographer @abeastinside .
Based in Chongqing, E-Jay is a travel photographer drawn to the city’s layered intensity and quiet in-between moments. After years of wandering its steep streets and neon-lit intersections, he captures Chongqing as something both vast and intimate, where concrete, light, and daily life fold into one another.
There is a cinematic quality to his work, but it remains grounded in human presence. Figures move through towering structures, small gestures unfolding against monumental scale. His images feel patient and intuitive, shaped by atmosphere as much as composition.
Through his lens, Chongqing becomes less a place to document and more a feeling to inhabit, dense, luminous, and quietly surreal.
From my recent collaboration with @nike at the Exclusive Jordan Space in Melbourne Central. I created a series of Jordan-inspired badges that were fully wearable and available to customise and add your way.
