BRAD COLLINS

Brad Collins is a local illustrator and painter based in the Hastings region of NSW. He’s got a relaxed style and a great eye for bold, fun artwork that tells a story. Whether it’s a quirky character, a laid-back beach scene, or a bit of Aussie humour, Brad’s illustrations always bring personality and a playful edge.

​

Artistic Journey and Style

Brad’s work mixes hand-drawn charm with clean, eye-catching designs—perfect for tees, totes, and all kinds of merch. He’s all about creating artwork that feels genuine, a bit cheeky, and easy to connect with. His use of bold lines, warm colours, and fun details make his designs pop, especially when printed.

 

We love teaming up with Brad at BlackDog Ink because his art works so well on fabric. It’s detailed without being over the top, and every piece feels like it’s got a little story behind it. Whether it’s for a one-off design or a full merch range, Brad’s work always hits the mark.
