The time is near, Faxhibition is opening at China Heights Gallery from 6:30pm this Friday evening the 30th April.
The works are all in and about to be hung, above is a teaser of what might be in store from some of our favourite artists.
As far as how the show will work, the art is going to be pinned to the walls and available for sale with the percentage that the artist will donate to Médecins Sans Frontières next to the work. There will be a limited run of 60 $10 zines that will be available at the show that have kindly been printed for free by Dashing Print and designed by James Kape. Profits will go to MSF.
Come down to check out our baby, grab a cold one courtesy of Grolsch and possibly sample Amy’s delicious cooking.

Hello world!
The Groop’s latest project – Faxhibition – is about to be unleashed on the public.
Presenting a series of works through the now obsolete, restrictive and archaic business communication system that is the fax machine – The Groop is proud to present Faxhibition.
From the 30th April to 2nd May, China Heights Gallery will be hosting a collection of works created by some of the most exciting Aussie artists and friends and family of the Groop. 20 artists from varying influences explore the theme ‘The fax of life’, with the works submitted via our nostalgia-inducing thermal fax machine, creating a truly unique exhibition premise.
In creating Faxhibition, The Groop aims to represent in part the way society has devalued the art of communication, ironically through the advances in our communication technologies.
Check the deets below, we hope to see you all there!

So I’m taking part in an exhibition this Feb, and it’s at China Heights gallery (Feb 12-14th), which is really exciting. Somewhere I’ve always wanted to see my works one day. It’s called This Little Piggy and is organised by the uber-lovely and talented Sydney artist Rebecca Murphy. 25 piggy banks meet their demise at the hands of 25 artists! We’re also showing some of our artworks alongside our piggies. MORE

I always find it interesting to find out what inspiration lies behind graphics. It usually surprises you when you think you had the ‘gist’ of a logo or some artwork and then you find that really it was a fusion of some things that were totally different to what you get from it. It’s almost like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer sees the logo that looks suspiciously like him, but it just turns out to be a fish and a lightbulb put together, or ‘Fishbulb’. MORE

This is a short film I was recently involved in for music and sound design. The film is a about a girl named Abigail who is dragged on a journey to discover who ‘the girl with no face’ is, and how and why she died.

I recently got commissioned to paint a mural for the band room at Mona Vale Hotel, aka The Attic. The room has a new vibe and the mural certainly brightens the place up. Coincidentally, it was also rather cool to have Tame Impala break in my artwork on it’s first night with a sold out gig. I was pretty curious to see how the crowd would react to my work – would they like it? Spill their drinks on it? MORE
