Artist # 1
Whale Tale
Kyle is a self taught artist who loves the diversity of art. He doesn't specialise in one medium or style but prefer to experiment, develop and grow into art. Sometimes his art is simple, sometimes complex but his intention is always to create art that tells stories and evoke feeling.
Kyle has been creating for the best part of 25 years and has been working as a full time artist for the past 5 years but up until 3 years ago he hadn't picked up a spray can or paint brush to create, this now plays a significant role in his work.

Artist #5
Kid Paris
Started 1984, Melbourne Australia. The beginning of Hip Hop culture in the country. Adopting the traditional 80’s Subway Art style that originated from New York City John got hooked. Pushed the art through the years and earnt a reputation for producing stylish letters in clean quality pieces with good use of colours with limited range of materials available during the 80s. Today having specialist stores worldwide has enhanced the look but still retain the traditional painting techniques that was only possible by using old materials.
His tag “Paris” has influenced many through the years and still today. It’s an opportunity for new generations to have an opportunity in seeing a skill set from the past 36 years of being an active artist who’s stemmed from the foundations on our shores.
