New Gold Mountain

SBS limited series released 2021, nominated for Best Graphic Design at the 2022 Australian Production Design Guild Awards. Set in 1857 during the gold rush in Ballarat, I illustrated many props and posters by hand to authentically replicate the hand-drawn craftsmanship of the period.
