Houl: Wielding a marker like a sword, Houl has carved a name for himself with his clean, crisp lines, intricate details and bizarre characters. He swaps spray cans for paint and paint for markers to create a wide variety of artworks, both while reclining comfortably at home as well as in a more public manner. Houl has created a vast collection of twisted characters and kinsmen who adorn the walls, doors, signs and stairwells of Sydney and Canberra, which take the form of paste-ups, stickers and aerosol murals. In addition to participating in a growing number of group exhibitions, creating artwork for Absolut Vodka, Grill'd Burgers and Groovin' The Moo, and being the first ever winner of Secret Wars Australia in 2010, Houl has more recently had his artwork projected onto the National Library of Australia, The National Portrait Gallery, Questacon and The Museum of Australian Democracy as part of the 2013 Enlighten Festival. With a burgeoning public interest in live art, Houl has found himself in his element once again, painting for audiences of all sizes, bringing his own style of art to a wider audience.
