New slant on things
Location Mural for Mini Paceman, Sydney CBD
Materials Acrylic and enamel on canvas, printed on a billboard

Gillie and Marc were one of three artists commissioned to create a unique billboard mural as part of a series for the MINI Paceman. The mural ran as a billboard in Sydney and now resides at the MINI Gallery in Melbourne. The goal was to interpret the MINI Paceman with a new slant on things. Incorporating Dogman and Rabbitgirl into the artwork gave human characteristics to the iconic MINI and created the idea of a strange world where a dog and a rabbit would stop to take a photo of a MINI Paceman scooting down a red carpet. “We do like to have a lot of humour in our art,” said Gillie. “We like to have that fun element.” “It’s biographical,” explained Marc. “I’m the dog and Gillie’s the rabbit. We’re two complete opposites as a rabbit and a dog but we’re partners in life, and lovers even though we’re an unlikely couple. The MINI Paceman is an unlikely car but it’s changing the way we see cars.” The artists decided to create the car as a personality with Dogman and Rabbitgirl totally mesmerised by it. “The MINI Paceman is an icon and it’s going to be an icon for years to come,” said Marc. “It’s a fun car and the whole idea of the MINI is to go out and enjoy.”
Ice-cream on the beach
Location Mural on Bondi Beach, Sydney

Gillie and Marc were delighted to contribute a mural to the Bondi promenade as part of the Activated Walls project. Using their alter-egos Dogman and Rabbitwoman as subjects, Gillie and Marc were excited to give some love back to their town. Love is about sharing all that you have with someone, and even an unlikely couple like Dogman and Rabbitwoman can enjoy some ice blocks together at Bondi Beach. The location of this mural is important to the area, as Bondi is a neighbourhood made of people from all around the world and this artwork encourages togetherness and interactivity in a beautiful environment. Whether you call it an ice block, icy pole, iced lolly, ice pop, freeze pop or popsicle, we can all identify with enjoying a cold treat on hot day and it’s always better with someone special.
They loved Bondi

In 2015, Gillie and Marc jumped at the chance to join world famous street artists such as Lister, Mulga and Birdhat bring their work to Bondi as part of the Activated Walls Project. On the first Monday of every month, both established and emerging artists are invited to paint murals on various Bondi locations as a way to breathe life into urban environments. As Bondi locals themselves, Gillie and Marc loved playing tribute to sunshine, waves and buff bodies. They painted their iconic Dogman and Rabbitgirl on the popular Italian café, La Piadina. Owner, Fausto Zizioli personally wrote to them, “Thank you! Firstly it was a great pleasure to meet you in person. We really love the soul you put on our walls.” Even though their mural has been painted over to make way for more artists to join in, one of Gillie and Marc’s Lost Dogs sculptures proudly sits on top of the café wall, where he spends countless days soaking up the rays, people watching. Read their blog post for a behind-the-scenes look on how the created the work and hear Gillie and Marc's thoughts on the project.
