So, talk us through this design
"Basically one night at Health Club our friend Tomo had an idea that we should do a Sydney print. After a few bourbons we had gone through a deep and dark brainstorm. Somehow the next morning I remembered about the idea, so I quickly rolled a wilson and started drawing my tweak of the infamous 1943 hoffman. I showed my mentor Lex Williams and we started the process of making a collage out of 15 different paint strokes.
The result is a 9 coloured print that uses well known Australian Pop Art symbols into a hypercoloured look at the harbour bridge on acid.
The moon, stars, clouds, lightning and sun have been tweaked into the word "CIDNEY" with Hoffman hidden riding his bike underneath, deep I know..."
