ABOUT

Hey, my name's Isaac, aka Barry Bangz and I'm a multi disciplined artist living and working in Melbourne’s CBD.

I make statement pieces that are fit for rockstars (real and self imagined).

I mostly work in painting, sculpture, fashion, digital design and animation. I also love Art Directing projects.
