Ben Reid, Sydneysider and fine arts student works on both canvas and walls but says his approach to each is quite different. “With murals or street art, I like the idea that simple language can carry deeper meaning”. After spending a week with us at the roastworks, painting a huge mural on our back wall, Benny came up with this t-shirt design we’ve dubbed “Sir Tampalot”. Ben wanted the piece to reflect the heart of the place - playful, determined, unexpected and a little bit mad. If you believe in what you’re about, sometimes you’ve just got to go head on at a problem and to hell with the consequence. Tshirts will be available online real soon!
