Here is a new painting – “Cup of Eternal Life”
For my upcoming solo show at Gorker Gallery, opening 22 July
Will post another preview soon.
As part of Creative Sydney in June 2010 – Beastman, Max Berry, Numskull, Phibs and Roach – painted a 2.5m x 10m collaborative mural which was installed in Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art.
Presented by [weAREtheIMAGEmakers], The Opening Hours and Ironlak, the intention of the event was to draw attention to and make a bold statement about the high quality but temporary nature of public or ‘street’ art in Sydney, due to Sydney council’s tough stance on the subject. This was achieved through buffing over the amazing 10m mural in front of a crowd who turned up expecting the artists to be painting the mural live.
Check out this awesome video of the artists painting on location at Westsyde Connection, and the event that followed at the MCA.

Beastman (Brad Eastman) is an artist, designer and photographer based in Sydney, Australia. Using acrylic, ink and aerosol he produces intricately detailed artworks depicting a geometric, parallel world of scaly skinned, bold outlined, beast-like characters gripped by fear, anger, stress, jealousy, lust, confusion and paranoia. Years of skateboarding has strongly influenced Beastman's characters, concepts and unique style, developed over many years of drawing in sketchbooks and shooting photos. Heraldry, symmetry, patterns, geometry, family, friendship, nature, the ocean, violence, spirits and the afterlife are all themes which are becoming more and more evident in his artwork.
