13 confirmed artists
Deej Sagurit
Deej is an illustration-based tattoo artist from Western Sydney. Beyond tattooing, he creates psychedelic landscapes and architectural drawings using improvised techniques with paint and markers.
Eve
Born in the former Soviet Union, raised in Italy, and eventually whisked away to Australia by her husband, I’m a self-taught artist with a love for experimentation. I’ll try any technique on any surface—from canvas to a forgotten piece of street furniture—and see where it takes me. Inspiration tends to strike strongest after a glass (or two) of vodka sour.
jose carlos meza lino
Jose Carlos is a Peruvian illustrator based in Sydney, known for his playful cartoon style using ink and watercolor. He brings stories to life through illustration, including his own fantasy poetry collection The Ghost of My Anxiety and the children’s book Penguin Problems. Jose Carlos is passionate about visual storytelling and the emotional worlds that illustration can unlock.
Kathryn Dixon
Kathryn offers a unique perspective shaped by her experiences as both a model and an artist, where the two roles intertwine to create something entirely new. Whether she's in front of the lens or behind the canvas, she is constantly engaged with art in all its forms. This dual insight allows her to develop a deeper, more holistic understanding of artistic expression and how to make her work meaningful and impactful for others.
Nicolas Nunez Diaz
Nicolas is a Colombian artist based in Sydney whose work is deeply inspired by sacred geometry, nature, and energetic flow. He blends color, texture, and light through intricate geometric and universal patterns that evoke introspection and spiritual connection. His art invites viewers to explore the harmony between the natural world and the unseen forces that shape it.
Poppi Hmelnitsky
Poppi is an abstract painter and gothic horror writer whose work blends dark humor with vivid social commentary. Her abstract still-life paintings are deeply influenced by 16 years spent working in hospitality, while her illustrated comics explore the absurd and psychedelic—from chaotic chefs and pill-addicted hens to morally dubious funeral directors on the Golden Gate Bridge. With a gothic aesthetic and a diabolical narrator often in tow, Poppi’s work dives headfirst into the bizarre corners of the human condition.
