Honoured to be painting some Wedge-tailed eagles for a large project on the outskirts of Perth. Will reveal more details in the near future!! 🦅

A juvenile Black-headed monitor (Varanus tristis) painted at QEII in Nedlands for @element.artsandculture - I wanted to capture the beautiful pattern on its scales and make it pop! Grateful to be a part of this project amongst many talented local artists 🙌

‘Warmer Seasons’ - Some progress shots of this mural in High Wycombe depicting a New Holland Honey Eater perched in Banksia. The design represents a moment in nature you might experience in the foot of the Perth hills, with the silhouettes of Black Cockatoos travelling in the background. At the time I was applying some ‘blown-up’ art student drawings from a workshop I did with High Wycombe Primary School prior to starting. More details to come! 🌅 • • • 📷 @jedlyall_productions #muralart #muralpainting #perthstreetart #perthartist #jackbromell

‘Miro’s Song for the Dancing Flower’ - Pigment ink on 210gsm Heavy Cartridge paper.

Some progress shots taken by the talented @editbyoak of the mural I recently painted at South Beach for the @cityoffremantle titled ‘Southern Silhouettes’.

A different perspective to the creation of ‘Southern Silhouettes’.

I had a great time painting this mural at South Beach for the @cityoffremantle titled, ‘Southern Silhouettes’. In the background I’ve included a landscape of the southern beach looking north along the bay. Making use of positive and negative space, the design is composed of interwoven silhouettes in blue tones and a white that matches the existing café. I wanted to include iconic and playful moments in the mural. Cargo ships on the horizon, kids jumping off the pontoon and lazy days spent on the beach. In the foreground five Silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) fly across the view. The seagulls are the hero of the image and the glue that holds the pieces together. In many ways a reflection of ourselves; sometimes annoying, always entertaining and often elegant without effort. This kind of unpretentious charm is the spirit of South Beach, a breezy refuge from the busyness of the city and a place where all belong. Thank you to everyone who said hello while I was painting. I was overwhelmed by the positive support from the community which made everyday that much sweeter! 💙

I recently finished this mural of three Singing Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus virescens) perched in Peppi tree foliage. The sump fence was already painted ‘Eucalyptus green’ so I used a slightly lighter green to paint some water texture in the background. I then chalked up and painted the foreground using an off white. You can find it on Marmion Street thanks to @melvillecityartsandevents 🍃

Some painting process (part 2) of this mural in Nedlands titled, ‘Melaleuca Breeze’. The hand-painted mural depicts two Western Spinebills (Acanthorhynchus superciliosus) perched in Melaleuca foliage. I wanted to capture a sense of movement and calm in the design to complement the surroundings and celebrate the unique flora and fauna of the area. Thank you @cityofperth for the opportunity 🖤

You may have seen this mural on Victoria Street in Midland (on the side of the IGA). It took myself and my mate Loch @belair__44 roughly 3 weeks to paint from scratch using over 100 litres of paint, two different paint sprayers, various paint brushes and plenty of chalk. First we painted a base-coat of white over the original black wall. Then a second coat of a warm yellow called ‘Beeswing’. That’s when the fun started. We used a couple of different oranges and reds to spray clouds across the wall creating a sunset effect. Once this was done we then chalked a grid across the wall and began drawing the silhouette of Western Australia’s last operating steam locomotive, ‘B6’. Every edge we cut in by hand and painted between every brick. This was a huge challenge but we pushed through to get that clean edge on all the silhouettes. We then began drawing the Cockatoos in chalk and slowly filling them with black, cutting in every brick again. Finally, after some long days in the heat, the last details of the Cockatoos feather’s were done! Thank you to the @cityofswan for the opportunity to celebrate some of Midland’s railway history and unique wildlife. The support we have received from the Midland community has been immense and it inspired us to create something beautiful for the public! 🌅🧡

Back to my monochrome ways… For the last few days I’ve been painting this mural in Nedlands commissioned by @cityofperth The background colour, ‘Ironstone’ was pre-existing elsewhere on the building, so I incorporated it into the design to complement the surroundings. Using two slightly lighter tones, I then painted eucalyptus foliage and some native honeyeaters in melaleuca. The aim was to create a subtle yet timeless impression of the area’s unique flora and fauna. This is one of two walls on this project and the response from the public has been incredible so far 🙏 Onto wall two next week! ✍🏽…
