Straight-Up Ink

Plenty of firsts to start the year. Lifted off the ground (mild fear), smashed a 20 metre run, turned designs around fast, and even a chaotic hallway couldn’t slow things down. 2032 Olympic & Paralympic games are calling!

First install at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. Two full days in a busy corridor, with no mess and minimal waste. Great staff, good conversations and plenty of interest in the machine. The postive reactions to the final result made the long days worth it. Hoping this brings a fresh and uplifting feel to the space. Keen for more.

Good to get this one done for the Palm Beach Currumbin Lions last week. Started with a blank wall and an old club song on a whiteboard, and finished with something that actually feels like part of the room. Lined everything up to the blockwork and let the printer run clean.

The club song means a lot to the players, families, and everyone who’s been part of PBC over the years, so it’s good to help bring a bit more identity back into the space.

If I’m not printing, this is usually where I’d rather be — out on the boat or motorbike clearing the head.

But most days look a little different.
School runs. Swimming lessons. BMX/skate parks, footy, basketball.Two boys, with what feels like infinite energy.

AV installs. Quotes. Cold emails. Chasing the next project.

And all of it works because my wife backs me through everything, even while running a schedule that's busier than mine.

It’s busy, but the balance is there......

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on here......Life got busy and the weeks disappeared fast. Christmas in NZ, a quick run to Sydney for my brother’s 50th, and a few behind‑the‑scenes projects kept things moving.

Straight Up Ink has still been ticking along. I wrapped up a print for Palm Beach Currumbin Sports Club just before Christmas, and lately I’ve been focused on printing new samples for potential clients and testing different surfaces, refining small text, and making sure the detail is as sharp and clean as it should be.

Plenty more to come this year. If you’ve got a wall that needs artwork, text, or something else, I’m always up for a chat.

Inclusion. Community. Giving back.

We welcome you to the PBC Sports Club.

What a club. What a vibe!

Have you taken a walk-through to see the new addition to the artwork?

It looks amazing and the messaging is everything our community is and needs.

It's places like the PBC Sports Club who are big supporters of locals like us that help keep the community alive. They bring the clubs together and give space to create community. This is truly a unique club!

The team are hugely passionate about what they do and it's so great to work them.
