G'day, I'm

JAMES

"I don't paint walls — I give them a voice."

For over a decade, I've been transforming blank walls into powerful stories across Australia. What started as a teenage obsession with street art in Brisbane has become a lifelong mission to create artwork that moves people.

Every mural I create is a collaboration — your vision, your space, your story, brought to life through my hands. I believe art shouldn't just decorate a wall; it should transform how people feel when they see it.

When I'm not up a scaffold or covered in paint, you'll find me exploring Brisbane's laneways, camping in the outback, or planning my next project with a flat white in hand.

MY STORY

2008

The spark ignited. Armed with nothing but spray cans and youthful ambition, I started painting walls in Brisbane's back alleys. What others saw as vandalism, I saw as a canvas waiting for a story.

2012

Going legitimate. My first paid commission came from a local café owner who'd seen my work around Fortitude Valley. That $500 job changed everything — I realised I could actually make a living doing what I loved.

2015

1300 MURALS was born. I wanted a name that was easy to remember and felt professional. The memorable phone number became my brand, and suddenly, businesses were calling.

2018

Breaking boundaries. My first major corporate client — a national 4WD company — trusted me with their showroom. That project led to partnerships across retail, hospitality, and advertising.

Now

Still painting, still growing. Every wall is a new challenge, a new story, a new opportunity to create something that stops people in their tracks. And honestly? I'm just getting started.

MY VALUES

🤝

COLLABORATION

Your vision matters. I listen first, create second. Every project is a partnership, and I won't paint a single stroke until we're both excited about the direction.

QUALITY

I use only professional-grade materials and take the time to do things right. A mural should last for years, not months. Shortcuts aren't in my vocabulary.

💬

COMMUNICATION

No surprises, no ghosting. I keep you in the loop from concept to completion with regular updates, progress photos, and honest conversations.

EVERY WALL HAS A STORY WAITING TO BE TOLD. MY JOB IS TO HELP YOU TELL IT.
