Vol. 3: Easty Beasty
Easty a.k.a Ella is a Bondi based artist.
‘Easty is an alter-ego. It’s freedom. It’s entertaining the grubby, and particular. It’s being allowed to be both inelegant and freakish and a pest and a menace, at the same time as being poignant, loving, emotional, and sometimes, really sad. It’s flexing the strange parts of the brain and holding the unusual thoughts to face the sun. It’s somehow making room for two very distinct personalities to co-exist in happy matrimony. It’s shaking off the should-nots and diving into deep water.’
Easty’s recognisable style has been compared to artistic styles like the Japanese Edo period, artists like Ed Hardy, & Reg Mombasa. Her red symbols, added at the end of an artwork, are called ‘Brain Litter’ and are a cathartic way to allow herself to finish off by drawing exactly what her hand wants. The red circle is the surf god, “Huey” which she adds to hopefully bring good luck for her next surf.
