Rest Awhile

Red foxes regularly wander through our property, usually keeping to the cover of the creek. In twenty-odd years, we’ve only lost one duck to a fox, despite having them (and the chickens) completely freerange. The chickens have only ever had the occasional egg stolen, but I think the rooster puts them off. This is how I’d imagine one of these beautiful creatures resting down at our creek during the day, hidden in the underbrush.

Welcome! I’m glad to share my art with you.

Since 2000, I’ve enjoyed a successful career as a tattoo artist, winning Australia’s Best Overall Male for one of my bodysuits. I’ve honed my craft among a devoted band of much-loved clientele while running one of Australia’s oldest and most prominent tattoo studios, Wild at Heart Tattoo (Brisbane), with my partner, Bernhard Olszewski, since 1993.

Living in a semi-rural area with my family and lots of animals, wild and domestic, my love of nature is my favourite inspiration. Walking down to the creek, watching birds on the dam, or visiting the possums at night - these moments are at the core of my art.
