Cararra, Queensland, Australia
About

A child of the eighties, it’s clear to see that Josh’s work is heavily influenced by his childhood love of classic cartoons, skateboarding culture, comics and anime.

His earlier work exploded with bold color palettes giving life to goonish characters and the world in which they were created, leaving the viewer experiencing nothing short of an LSD flashback. Josh’s work has matured and become more refined using simpler but just as bold color palettes and a much cleaner, individual line style. Working in the graphic design industry for the last 13 years has also strengthened his love for typography and letter design.

Consistently producing original, inspiring work since the late 1990’s, he has firmly cemented his position within the Australian lowbrow art and sneaker culture scene. He is regularly invited to participate in live paint installations and has exhibited in and curated solo and group shows worldwide.
