TESTIMONIALS
“Smalls’ outstanding street art was a key feature of our recent Sundown event, held on Saturday, May 25, 2024. As the Events Producer for the City of Gold Coast, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Smalls and witnessing firsthand the impact of his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft.
During the Sundown event, Smalls transformed our spaces with his unique artistic vision and uncompromised precision. His ability to capture the essence of the event and celebrate our homegrown artists and musicians through his street art was truly remarkable. The vibrant energy and intricate details of his work resonated deeply with our attendees, adding a dynamic and engaging element to the event. Outside of being a street artist, Smalls works for Men of Business Academy (MOB), playing a pivotal role in shaping brighter futures for young men through leadership and mentoring program.
I highly recommend Smalls for any future art events or projects. His passion, creativity, and professionalism make him an invaluable asset to any event, and his ability to connect with the community through his art is truly inspiring. I am confident that Smalls will continue to leave a lasting impression wherever his art is showcased”

"I have known Smalls for over 10 years now and have collaborated on a range of projects including mural commissions, gallery exhibitions, t-shirt design collaborations and youth mentor initiatives.
In that time, I have observed Smalls to have an empathetic understanding of the sensibilities and responsibility of working with creative individuals. He has the proven ability to deliver an art concept on time and within budget. This actively displays his competency to project manage a significant body of work from inception, to creation, to production – being a testament to his strong interpersonal skills, analytical thinking, good communication and ability to organise and coordinate to achieve desired results.
The impact of some of the projects we have collaborated on has extended far beyond the lifespan of the project themselves. The relationships he has helped to build within the community now echo in creative partnerships and inspiration for a new generation of artists. He has a knack for engaging young people through art as a constructive and creative outlet which comes from his own passionate experiences first hand."

I am thrilled to share my experience with Smalls and his incredible graffiti artwork at our gym, Define Fitness. From the very beginning, Smalls nailed the brief perfectly, capturing the essence of our gym and the energy we wanted to convey. His creativity is truly unmatched, bringing a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere to our space. Additionally, his communication was outstanding throughout the entire process. He was always friendly and easy to deal with, making collaboration a breeze. It was clear that he genuinely cared about our vision and worked diligently to bring it to life.
Smalls is not just a talented artist; he is a professional who understands how to connect with his clients and deliver exceptional results.
We couldn't be happier with his work, and our members absolutely love the new mural! Thank you, Smalls!”
