Meet the Imperfeckts
A series of paintings I put together for Surface Festival at short notice after discovering the opportunity. I had the idea to paint some portraits of @oliveretwist @missyhigginsmusic @swilloughby91_ The stories they tell about their life journeys, and their ability to be vulnerable and share their real struggles, has been inspiring to listen to through the @theimperfectspodcast, the podcast may not be for everyone, and neither will be, these imperfekt paintings. However, the podcast has really helped me lately, so thanks to them for sharing their stories that I feel are now a part of my story! I really felt inspired to share the podcast so stencilled in a QR code that links directly to their episode on the back of each artwork. My favourite is @swilloughby91_ episode for his amazing story of resilience after a horrific accident which he talks about in detail. All of their stories are very inspiring though!

Meet the Artist
Gold Coast, AustraliaBorn in New Zealand, raised in Australia. Gold Coast based artist Jimmy has been honing his skills in many different forms – Drawing, Canvas Painting, Aerosol art, Street art and re-purposing hard rubbish for over a decade.
Inspired by the element of surprise that graffiti and street art pieces bring to their environment and also inspired by more traditional and modern art. Jimmy creates to capture this essence, and to challenge the boundaries of what people consider as acceptable art, and to inspire others to be brave in making.
Jimmy also likes to paint and draw with his young son Zephyr as he brings so much freedom and raw energy to whatever they are creating. We create, because it makes us feel alive!
Zefbam comes from an acronym Jimmy formed to represent his family. It's a reminder of the reason why he creates and why he is still pursuing his creative dreams. Jimmy hopes that as his craft evolves that he will be able to use it to connect with more creatives, to highlight subjects that matter to him in a unique way, to honour those that have come before him and to leave a legacy for those that will come after him.
