Street Artist HAPPY DECAY Australia

Australian street artist HAPPY DECAY lives on the South Coast of NSW, just below Sydney and a short drive across to Canberra. Being close to Canberra makes it easy for me to fly to Melbourne or any city in Australia.

Below is a selection of some of my work as a street artist in Australia. With the street artwork, I like to keep it bright and vibrant. My aim is to create a community space through art that makes the place more enjoyable and positive for people to engage with.

Street Artist – HAPPY DECAY

I did my formal training as an artist at the School of Art in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. I focused on printing making, illustration and typography.

Later on, I went and did some additional training at the Canberra Institute of Technology to study graphic design. Here I got to learn about the business of design as well as using software that was good for digital illustration.

I’ve always had the fortune to do be able to do illustration work within the design industry. And with my illustration skills and prior painting training, I have branched off into street art work which is the perfect canvas size I like to work with.

As a street artist, on a legal level I started with painting walls at friend’s places and other abandoned buildings etc.

Here is some more of my street art / mural work based around Australia. Most of my artwork is done around the Sydney and Canberra area. I do travel nationwide and overseas for street art projects.
