Story Horse Bringing art and history to life by transposing humanity’s most beautiful works on to raw timber. Tough and beautiful, they can even be used outdoors.

Story Horse brings art and history to life by transposing humanity’s most beautiful works on to raw timber. Vibrant floral murals and pieces to hang, colourful street art and classics from China, Japan and Persia maintain their aged charm via inks blended with locally sourced timbers. Story Horse also renders custom feature-wall installations for fit-outs both commercial and domestic, your favourite artworks or photographs, and resizings of any existing piece to suit your space. He also has a line of exquisite cards on thin timber and can render your personalised cards and invitations the same from as little as $3 each. Every piece is reimagined with zero-emission, anti-fade inks that allow the natural grain of the timber to come through.

This was a bespoke piece done on commission for a discerning client, who wanted something to lift the reception area in her business office, while paying homage to her love of all things pink.

I based it on a piece by one of my favourite Japanese landscape artists Kawase Hasui called The Pond at Benten Shrine in Shiba.

I love how these Louis 16th-style panels look in the alfresco area of the client's home in Margaret River.

She had the vision to line up the three of them in the space between two windows.

Here is the huge version of Three Persian Horses, sitting high and proud in the mezzanine of its home.
It is 2.5m wide by 2m high and screen-printed over two panels of butt-joined, marine hardwood, with a wooden brace attached to the back.

I've had another crack at this piece.
This time a bit brighter
It is an original section of Chinese wallpaper dating back to the mid-1700s and currently horded somewhere in the archives of London's V&A's museum.
The wear and tear you can see is real.
I took the image and restored the colours to how they might have been, filled some of the bigger gaps, put a border around it and screen-printed it into a panel of locally sourced hardwood.

I love this.
It's a giant atlas moth from the Mughal court, painted between 1600-1700.
Many thanks to Naman M Chaudhary for the share on Instagram.

Client designed wallpaper

This is from two weeks ago.
First crack at working with wallpaper instead of timber.
The clients, a couple, came up with the design*, with a bit of help from AI.
All I then had to do was beef up the resolution for it to work up large, then figure out the best sort of wallpaper to print it on.
It looks a treat in this alcove, expertly hung by Nicky at Nicky Perfect Papering Perth

*It's a sweet design in that it represents the couple and their heritage, along with their future together raising two sons in Perth.

Here are a few more pictures of this week's job which will end up hanging in a family home.
I took an old favourite design and added in a heap more birds and flowers.
Here is a list of the main birds and flowers depicted, with their Noongar names in brackets where available.

Red Tail Cockatoos (Karrakin)
Splendid Fairy Wren (Djer-Djer)
W***y Wagtail (Djidi-Djidi)
Eucalyptus rhodantha or Rose Mallee
Yellow Flowering Gum (Illyarrie)
Various Banksias (Piara/Biaras)
Kangaroo Paw (Kurulbrang, Nollamara, and Yonga Marra)

Catch up on a job from earlier this year.
This poolside mural was commissioned for a lovely family home nestled between the marina and golf course in Secret Harbour.
The clients wanted a swirling underwater world to match the colour and shape of their pool area.
We were all rapt with the result.

Doodle on a rainy day.
I've broadened an old favourite, "Bottom of the Harbour", turning it from square to landscape format.
The original section was that on the right.
