The awards were held at CQ Nightclub in melbourne and showcases the best in Australian design from a broad range of design industry areas including illustration, photography, website design, animation, print, packaging and student design.

Following the ceremony, my artwork was auctioned for charity and reached $900AUD, which was a great result. Below are pics and the artwork painted live under pressure.
