Eamo is true blue. Eamo is green and gold. He's ready to impress you with his antipodean vision of design goodness.
If Marty Monster and Crocodile Dundee had a love child, it would be Aussie illustrator Eamo Donnelly. Based in Melbourne Australia, Illustrator / artist Eamo uses an eclectic mix of Australian iconography with a distinctly vivid colour palette to produce incredibly detailed hand drawn pieces. Never afraid of the cultural cringe, he evokes all that was magical about growing up in Australia in the 80s. His unique work displays the richness of Australian life when the sand was hot, the Big M girls were hotter and the only beer on tap was VB.
