Entry for the Kinokuniya Digital Art Prize 2008

design competition held for the first time in sydney, in november ‘07 at the metro. 8 finalists head-to-head, wacom-to-wacom with 15 minutes to complete a design brief. this was my piece for the first round which won me the audience prize. the brief was to create a piece with the theme of ‘currency’ — 15 minutes isn’t a long time, but it feels like forever when you’re in front of a thousand people. mind-blowing is the only way i can describe the whole event, especially the other contestants, the guys from play and everyone who put this event together who were all absolutely inspiring. video here | info and pics here

illustration done for the Extra Cheeese group exhibition held in march 07. this piece was sold on opening night, and the exhibition included many other talented friends & artists such as torsocorso, numskull & akina. artists and designers had to create a piece using a used pizza box as the canvas, and its aim was to promote the awareness of sustainable practice, as well as to blur the distinctions between art and design. more info / gallery

in ‘06 when the terrifying noise band wolf eyes toured australia, my band onani was asked to play support at their sydney show at the marquee. to promote the show and also ourselves, i developed a number of promotional print items including a tour poster, cd package and t-shirts. the show was fucking intense, and i’m still partially deaf because of it.
