MyBro

This webpage is dedicated to my brother, Elliot. He died on 13 January 2023, aged 42.

I have taken a long time to get this far and I know there is still a journey ahead of me to showcase my brothers work to the world. I feel that this page is only touching the surface of who my brother was to so many people.  He never cared about what people thought of him and his only goal in life was to help others, from care in the community, his rehabilitation work in Australia, to his passion for his art and showing that others could do it too.

He was resourceful in what he had and would turn most things into a canvas, he often customised skateboards and sneakers for others which allowed his true creativity of freehand art and the true meaning of graffiti to take flight. 

Touching the hearts of so many on his travels and also breaking a few hearts too, Elliot was never one for standing still for too long, he loved exploring the wonders that the great outback would throw his way and so his journey began as he started by spray-painting a mini van with one of his rad designs and turing the inside of it into his home on wheels. Being the fearless and carfree person that he was meant that he was never materialistic and I guess that helped, as traveling light was key, he was my little 'Bear Grylls,' catching fish for his supper and cooking it on a open campfire. I think the only thing that made him take stock of life was when he was working on the mango farms and would often discover a rather large venomous snake or a huge spider in his sleeping bag.

Elliot's uncontrolable passion to create music took up the remainder of his life and it wasn't unheard of for Elliot to spend hours, sometimes days sampling and editing a rift or two. His struggles in life spilled into his music with his woes and health rhyming together to create some of the most heartfelt music I have ever heard. Life, friends and his love for his dear companion Moog (the dog) was his greatest inspiration.

Alhough you are not with us anymore, I hear you everyday in your music as if you were here, it is like having you sitting in the car, tapping out a beat on the dashboard and being there as I do my journey into work everyday.

This page will continue to grow as I discover more about you.

You are, and will always be, my little brother.

Hey Elliot you are with me every day, I got some of your ashes sprinkled into a glass bead that I wear everyday so you are with me wherever I go, okay you may not be traveling exstensivly but you go out when I do.

I also got you swirled in a lovely paperweight that I keep displayed in an acrylic box for all to see and as silly as it may sound to some I say a good moring and goodnight to you everyday.
