Street Art Mentoring Program (funded by Department of Justice)

When Jimmy Beattie first started dabbling in graffiti art around 1996, there was no such thing as a professional mural artist. ‘It wasn’t even on the radar,’ he says. Yet, these days, business is booming for this self-employed Melbourne artist who works under the name of D-V-Ate. His work has taken him around the world, from street art festivals in Copenhagen to mural work in the US, producing artwork for major global brands, but his heart lies closer to home. These days, Jimmy works almost solely on conservation-focused commissions, mostly of local Victorian species.
