This is Easty. She wasn’t always Easty though - her parents called her Ella when she was born and still do, most of the time.

Easty is an alter-ego created for the purpose of exploration.

It’s entertaining the grubby, and particular. It’s being allowed to be both inelegant and freakish and a pest and a menace, at the same time as being poignant, loving, emotional, and sometimes, really sad. It’s allowing your brain to explore.

It’s somehow making room for two very distinct personalities to coexist. This is the result. This art. This whole new space to exist in.

It’s all just one big contradiction of young fever and old wisdom.

Easty’s recognisable style emerged almost as a form of revenge. It came from a “fuck everyone” moment, a moment where she needed total reinvention. The first thing she drew was a surfboard sticker.

Since then, her artwork has explored references such as 90s TV animation, medieval European art, and computer games. Her artist style has also been compared to movements like the Japanese Edo period and artists such as Ed Hardy and Reg Mombasa.

Her red symbols, added at the end of an artwork, are called “Brain Litter” and are a cathartic way to allow herself to finish off by drawing exactly what her hand wants. The red circle is the surf god “Huey,” which she adds to hopefully bring good luck for her next surf.

Easty is really proud to have partnered with:

AFENDS, Rusty, The Critical Slide Society, Hockey Dad, Impala Skate, DIDI Australia, Gage Roads, Sunburnt Mess, Australian Marine Conservation Society, GoodFish, Always Sunday, Wine Wave and more.
