If you don’t recognise this art style then you have been under a rock for the last 40 years and it should be on the citizen checklist for new arrivals 🙂

As a kid mambo clothing and anything that had it on was gold.. the art seemed like it was just out of some nut jobs drug induced haze and it just worked 🙂

Sadly, the brand was sold to a US company, like all good things aussie but for 10million bucks it would probably be hard to argue with that.

Anyways, Dog Trumpet, which is also the band of ex Mental as Anything band members is playing at Vivid and as a extra, one of the members (Reg Mombassa, not his real name either btw) artwork is on display at the Customs House.

Here is a couple of timelapse reels from a few different perspectives.

“The classic Aussie road trip turned on its head. Delve into this wild and surreal world as you journey from the familiar to the micro world of bacterial monsters.

Hit the road with national icon Reg Mombassa as retro-futuristic robots, one-eyed koalas and other strange creatures take over Customs House. As one of Australia’s most beloved artists, Reg immerses us in an other-worldly journey, presented in his signature style.

Here, nothing is what it seems. A rebel at heart, his playful but biting humour plays with established Australian icons in a strange new light. We are left to question our collective identity and what it means to be human”
