My latest painting for @bsafest at @nightlifemusic . 'Vision' depicts the band @desmond_cheese and mirrors their upcoming release of the same title. This artwork is not a portrait piece delving into each band member but an attempt to capture the essence of the music's creative process. Coincidentally the band and I connected through friends at the start of our creative practices more than a decade ago. With ties to graffiti, art, hip hop, and jazz, the spontaneous connection has influenced my creative practice and way of thinking. Desmond Cheese has always had a clear vision for their music. And that is, most importantly, prioritising friendship, family, inclusivity and collaboration while allowing inspiration to come from the environment around them, often sampling sounds from nature. As a result, they have steadily produced music that I believe captures Brisbane, Queensland, a sound distinct to their way of life. Since those first interactions, these notions have always been in the back of my mind. I have tried to do the same with my work, aspiring to allow inspiration to come naturally from my surroundings, strengthened by the people around me. So often, we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day, losing sight of what's important. Prioritising the enjoyment of life with friends and family puts stress and anxiety into perspective, allowing for a more genuine creative practice that comes naturally. Many thanks to everyone that worked on this year's festival and made all the artworks possible.

It’s been way too long! The last time we saw each other was in 2018 and i crashed at @instaguss 's place for a month in Brisbane😂😂😂 Finally reunited and got a chance to paint together again, fusing 2 different styles into one mural. Good times! It's always great to see u man 🙏🏻👍🏻🙌🏻 The original photo of me was taken by @alextabun in russia 2021.

‘Your Point of View’ my latest piece for the @brisbaneairport thanks to @vastyonder . In the peaceful setting of a leafy Queenslander, two friends sit on a deck overlooking Brisbane. As the birds chirp and the distant hum of lawnmowers fills the air, they sit leisurely sipping on margaritas updating each other on recent events as the sun begins to set. Very happy to paint two of the best @holedizzel @jessicamerrett 😇 #painting #art #streetart #portraiture #brisbane #brisbaneairport #queenslander

My artwork for the @benallastreetartfestival . 🌳🐕🍃🩳🌿👙 A group of friends, a few doggos, and a secret swimming hole location, it was a perfect moment with the sun shining through the trees, glistening off the leaves and reflecting onto the water. Moments like these, you realise you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Shout out to all the sponsors, everyone who helped put the festival together. @benallastreetartfestival @visitvictoria @duluxaus @mtnaustralia @ab_group_hire @simongrant948 #painting #art #streetart #benallastreetartfestival #australianart

‘In the studio with @fintan_magee ’, my piece from last year's @brisbaneportraitprize . I realise I only posted it once back when I took out the Lord Mayor's prize. I got a little swept up in the celebrations 🎉🎉 I first met Fintan Magee in 2010 in Brisbane, back when I was studying fine art and painting graffiti. We were heading out to paint an abandoned building when I asked him what he did for work. He said, “What do you mean? I do this — I paint murals and make art” That moment stuck with me, I hadn’t truly considered that painting murals/street art could be more than a bit of fun, it could be a career, since that moment I have been practising art full time. #BrisbanePortraitPrize #art #painting #portraiture #fintanmagee
