Iconic Artworks

Whale Town - A total classic, a quirky representation of Hervey Bay. Includes a very happy whale, whale watching boats & the iconic Urangan Pier. Simple, yet deep, loved by young & old. Whale Town is on almost every product & possibly the highest selling design. This is pretty much where it all began.

Urangan Market - The Urangan Pier Park Market committee asked Rebecca to ‘whip up a quick logo’ for the market. A week later they asked if it was done yet & were sent a progress shot, “take your time” was the happy reply. Used in the markets advertising material & on ABRJ products.

Funky Fraser Island - Painted to celebrate the amazing & diverse K'gari Fraser Island. Like the island itself, there is so much to find & surprise.

Sporty Scarness, commissioned by Hervey Bay Triathlon Club - Completed with a two week deadline, it took a monster 90 hours to paint & a few more of computer editing to get this piece ready as the official artwork for the 2017 Hervey Bay 100 Triathlon (Hundy), used on singlets, jerseys & trisuits. 

Urangan Pier 1917 - 2017 - A history of the Urangan Pier captured in this one scene.

Love Lady Elliot, commisioned by Lady Elliott Island Eco Resort - After a night on the island, Rebecca & Matt had seen it all & fallen in love with the island, but failed to absorb it well enough.
