Born and raised in Western Sydney with VHS tapes and 90s hand-me-downs, Thalan-Harry has always had a penchant for the aesthetics of yesteryear. In particular, he draws heavy inspiration from skate culture, comic books, album covers and cheesy TV infomercials.
Now 22, Thalan-Harry has completed a Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication) at WSU and already racked up a year of experience designing at Thinkerbell, one of Australia’s leading creative advertising agencies.
When he isn’t designing, illustrating or animating the next best thing, you can usually find Thalan-Harry building models, petting the nearest cat, or writing third-person summaries about himself.
fruitmarket is an independent not-for-profit initiative that promotes local musicians through the personal value of tangible media to disrupt harmful music industry trends. My first and second-hand research shows that local musicians are being drowned out by masses of financial burdens and streaming algorithms that are designed to promote already-popular artists, diverting money and attention away from emerging creatives.
fruitmarket utilises the current resurgence of tangible music media to distribute physical promotional material that would otherwise be reserved for high-profile musicians, such as CD & cassette mixtapes, advertising campaigns, merchandise and personal brand design services - all at no cost to the artist.
