Jack Daniel's Container Collaboration

The team from Jack Daniel's got in touch with me about painting some shipping containers for their Bar that Jack Built on Tour campaign. The concept for the campaign was to create a travelling bar/party that fans of the old No.7 could be a part of. The trucks would drop off the containers in 7 towns between Melbourne and Sydney. Then the locals would come in and supply furniture or labour in return for tix to the event and be a part of the action.

Last year I was involved in the Jack Daniels Birthday -Bar that jack built campaign too. Here's a really thorough link to the process behind it.  
And here's my Jack Daniel's Birthday painting.

At the Arthouse Hotel I painted this friendly fish live.

I was lucky enough to get invited to paint live during the opening night for Sydney's Arthouse Hotel newest restaurant. The Graffiti Ristorante was a sweet looking venue. Fellow artist Irene Feleo joined me in the artistication on the night too. People liked what I was about and I had a good time up there playing around and tasting some darn good food too! Cheers to the staff there, the whole night was a lot of fun.

Rascally Rabbit Hand Puppet

I sketched this little guy out while getting that surfboard post loaded up. The way the copic markers dissolved the kilometre biro ink was a pretty cool little effect I thought.

Custom Surfboard Painting

A mate and I started shaping surfboards just over a year ago in my mums garage. This is one of the latest designs that Samo had a stab at shaping. He was kind enough to let me unleash my poscas on his freshly glassed ride. The results were pretty great I thought.
