OH DEAR
“Being a tattooist and also living in Victoria, COVID-19 really put a spanner in the works in terms of certainty and creative energy. For me personally, it completely took work off the table. In turn, it opened a door allowing me to explore my own personal art a lot more. Of course, this all fitted around a schedule that was dictated by home schooling and teaching my five year old son how to ride a bike. It also magnified the importance of knowing when to step back if you’re just not feeling it and made me realise the importance of being present in the process.”
“Hyper-realistic portraits highlighting the unnerving immortality of good versus evil.”
“A magical journey back into our childhood where the things that excited and inspired us most get the homage they deserve!”
“This is a place where beauty is found in awkwardness, honesty and a neatly sharpened pencil. Here, imperfection rules, weirdos are celebrated, and the coolest of people are revealed as loveable goofballs.”
