‘Home Grown’ was a typeface developed from the aesthetics of Australian local merchandise design based in the 1970’s-1980’s, with bands of the likes of Mental as Anything, Cold Chisel, The Angels and pub rock iconography.
I wanted to highlight the unique style and features of local idioms, landmarks and phrases you just had to be there for. I took inspiration from designers by the likes of Paul Worstead and Sheona White, their designs remaining as an Aussie classic as the suburban mullet, and Spicks and Specks on at 8:35.

Commissioned by artist, Richard Scott, I created the branding for his solo show; Happy Endings, A love letter to the Gold Coast. Showcasing his screen-printed series depicting massage parlours to snack bars and the iconic Pink Hotel, preserving the nostalgic mementos of the Gold Coast before it’s too late.
Starting this project with Richard came with two chicken scratch sketches, an idea of a rough poster layout and a Chinese takeaway menu he collected on his recent trip to Bali. A great start.
