Shannon Crees and the Museum of Self Love
With agency Marilyn and Sons for The Body Shop Shannon Crees turned the travelling Museum of Self Love into an eye catching activation on the streets of Sydney.
“Self love to me is not a one size fits all method, it’s about honouring the individual elements that make each of us special and unique. For me personally self love has been a journey of practising what I love most in the world and that’s to express myself through my art making process. It’s a journey of digging deep and being in flow, I’m forever grateful to have this calling that continues to define who I am and what I love.
I created this colourful piece to celebrate diversity and to symbolise the multiple facets that define beauty inside and out.
I love that this work is organic and joyous and hope that it inspires its audience to reflect and celebrate with moments of self love. ”

Year of the Ox with Christina Huynh for Marina Square
Marina Square Wentworth Point celebrated Chinese New Year with this homage to the Ox painted by the talented Christina Huynh @stynabyna.
In Chinese culture, the Ox is a valued animal. Because of its role in agriculture, positive characteristics, such as being hardworking and honest, are attributed to it.
Oxen are the hard workers in the background, intelligent and reliable, but never demanding praise.

Sky Bending with Daniel O'Toole
It’s always a treat to see a new style of Street Art emerging on streets. If you have been following Daniel O’Tooles practice this image will be familiar to you, its the canvas of a large scale wall that’s really exciting.
We asked Daniel to share with us the progression and process this work has taken, read below his statement.
My new mural piece on Barry Street in Northcote / Melb is the first of its kind. I have been working with video pieces and sculptural installations in the studio but I hadn't transcribed any of the video stills onto a wall until now. It's been interesting to see how the feeling of the screen still comes through and the video reference is less abstract than I had expected it would be. The scale and the format is really satisfying, I chose this wall as it had a texture that reminded me of film grain and the white space was a perfect frame for the panel, making it feel like a canvas hanging in a gallery.

The Queen's Gambit - It's an entire world of just 64 squares.
A series of mosaic portraits of Beth Harmon by Charis Tavis, aka Anya Taylor-Joy, made out of chess symbols. A self-initiated project honoring a good book, an interesting mini-series, and of course, a fantastic game.
It's an entire world of just 64 squares.
— Beth Harmon
Read below in Charis’ words
The Queens' Gambit is, without doubt, the tv series hit of 2020. A year like no other showed us many unknown and unexpected parts of the human soul, identity, and behavior. Beth Harmon is a heroine that many could relate to, and chess is the platform on which many psychological and sociological schemes can be applied. In 2020 every one of us had to play a strange chess game against the coronavirus pandemic. It's an ongoing game with many different challenges, unknown moves, obvious and not so apparent strategies, dilemmas, and complications. This game against an invisible enemy has shaped our lives and showed us our limitations. Finally, it gave us an ultimate chance to rethink ourselves and our civilization.
I have created these series as a side project the last months. I wanted to build my mosaics on a simple checkerboard with a limited color palette stolen by the mini-series.
Bloodsuckers by Steven Noble
The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada commissioned Steven Noble to render three separate illustrations for their ‘Bloodsuckers’ campaign. The illustrations include a Dracula/Vampire, Chupacabra and Yara-Ma-Yha-Who and were used in posters at the Royal Ontario Museum and rendered in a traditional line art / engraving style to fit with the myth/legend (vampires, ancient bloodsucking gods, etc.) component of the exhibition with the real-life facts (lampreys, leeches, oxpecker bird, etc.).

Xoe Hall - with dreams of a better and more sustainable future.
Xoe Hall paints a killer homage KA MUA, KA MURI - Commissioned by COCA Massey, 2020
A story mural that was designed after the nation wide Covid lockdown with dreams of a better and more sustainable future for our people and our land in mind.
I think it is important to go back to the beginning, back to our roots, to find the pieces of the future we want to build. And in the beginning there was complete darkness. Darkness caused by the greatest love there ever was!
In order of appearance from the Gym wall to the School facing wall;
RANGINUI and PAPATŪĀNUKU held each other so tight, no light could get in. But, like all tragic love stories, they were eventually separated forever by their sons, and today we bask in the sun.
HIWA-I-TE-RANGI, a star of Matariki, is the one we send our wishes and intentions to for the year to come. Well 2020 has turned the world on its head so let's start again. I wish we all do a lot better for the planet and each other.
HINE-NUI-TE-PŌ, the death of an old era, death to broken systems, colonisation, racism, sexism, slavery, pollution and everything else that is hurting the planet and each other. It doesn't work.
HINE-TĪTAMA , the flashing dawn of a new era! Let's take all that good stuff with us into the future like equality, sustainability, and kindness for a start. Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua.
MAHUIKA, lights the way out of the dark with her firey nails glowing like torches. Fire to warm your bones and fuel your heart. Fire for the fiery! And as MĀUI found out, those who mess with ancestral fire, get burnt.
Love always wins...torched car became a beacon of love, light and hope.
In early May 2020, the Mini Cooper belonging to local residents in Cape Town’s suburb of Mouille Point was set alight. The vandalism was a culmination of many attempts to stop Peter and Lesley Wagenaar from providing food to homeless and vulnerable people during the height of the covid-19 pandemic.
Rather than deterring the Wagenaars (who continued to provide daily home cooked meals, made with love), the Mini Meltdown became a beacon of love, light and hope that communities can work together in a crisis. Instead of stopping people from giving, it inspired others who were similarly called to provide aid for those less fortunate through the Covid-19 pandemic.
Love always wins.
Alicia McFadzean (artist Cheeky Observer) was commissioned to transform the exterior of the Mini into an artwork reflective of this message.
In its new life, it will function as a mobile artwork; a medium for conflict resolution and a vehicle to raise funds for social welfare enhancing projects.

Nixon's homage to Richmond
Mural artist Chris Nixon’s new mural in Melbourne captures the Richmond area perfectly.
Set amongst the offices of DDB, Walt Disney, Tesla and a couple of quaint cafe’s. Three new murals came to life with mural artist, Chris Nixon. One being an impressive 11m x 6m masterpiece in the lobby of a newly refurbished office block.
A combination of bold graphic treatments with loose organic forms to create an abstract artwork taking reference from the surrounds of Richmond, Melbourne.
A refined and bold palette to draw attention and inspire closer inspection of the texture and detail. The curved shape balance with the strict and clean lines of the site.
