As a stand-alone, special edition publication, each year's Annual has a different look and feel. In this year’s approach, I explored a combining of a clean aesthetic with rhythmic and colourful imagery, on a beautiful matt paper and embossed cover. White space and crisp, understated typography was balanced with lots of layers, texture, collage, paint, ink, hand lettering and many illustrations to capture the visual style of triple j – organic, unpolished, subversive and irreverent.

Hallo, nice to sea you here!

I'm Nat,  I’m an Australian artist. I create feel-good art, illustration and lettering. Informed by a background in visual communication and art direction, I work with brands, agencies, publishers and people to communicate stories of connection, empowerment and awe. My practice is a sparkly, colourful ode to the wonder and joy I stumble upon in my universe using hand-drawn and digital techniques. A dream-like language of place, nature, words and people are playfully explored from my studio next to the ocean, amongst the trees on the south-east coast of Australia, on Djiringanj Country. Swimming, reading, plant-hoarding, travelling and wandering with my doggo in the forest keep me feeling human.
