Collaborations with Brands & Designers
Known as 'a modern day renaissance man', collaborations have been at the heart of my work for more than two decades. With extensive experience in translating fine art into various contexts, I'm well-versed in the nuances of a successful brand collaboration.
Balancing the line between fine art and the commercial arts, I understand the unique requirements brands have when commissioning an artist for a campaign, collection or other collaboration. Working as the Creative Director of Billabong for 13 years allowed me to gain extensive experience in understanding how art translates to fashion design, surface design and other applications.
Over the last decade, my art practice has included collaborations with brands, fashion designers and interior designers, offering a unique opportunity for commercial clients to fuse their objectives with artistic outcomes.
Over the years, I've joined creative forces with brands like McLaren, Apple, Adobe and more. These collaborations ranged from custom artwork commissions, through to workshops and keynote speaking engagements. At a local level, I've partnered with Griffith University and events like Bleach* Festival and Splendour in the Grass.
For brands considering collaborating with me – know this: working with mee is more than just procuring an artist’s service; it's forming a genuine partnership that revolves around a shared vision. I pride myself on having s a knack for interpreting a brand's ethos into artwork and outcomes that resonate deeply with audiences. My versatility in working across mediums, from small scale to large mural works, intimate workshops to large conferences, allows me to cater to a wide range of brand needs.
Interior designers, too, have much to gain from forming a partnership with working with me as an artist. With extensive experience in spatial design, I understand how art works in a space to provide character, narrative and visual interest. Alongside my team, I work closely with interior designers to select and even create, artwork that aligns with and elevates their design concept. My works can can extend to interior fit-outs for retail stores or hospitality venues, too.
