Jeff McCann is a consummate professional, artist, creative and designer. His business spans multi layered, including fashion, cardboard products, art and education. He is the epitome of a creative, always playing with materials and new ideas. He started out n theatre design and the drama comes out in his work. We had a great chat over zoom with Jeff about his social media content, inclusivity, sustainability in his work, making lists, doing workshops, and much more. 

He has also designed performance outfits for singers such as, Montaigne and Thelma Plum.

 

'My name’s Jeff McCann, my pronouns are he/him they/them and I’m a Sydney/Gadigal based creative who works in both the visual and performing arts. I specialise in community engagement projects, public art, workshops and education, collaborations, illustration, props and fashion. My artistic practice strives to create inclusive works that encourage audience involvement and fun.  The work I create fits a variety of spaces from retail and live events to traditional mediums like print and advertising. I have a sustainability-focused approach to my practice. This can include using second hand materials, repurposing old collateral from previous projects to make new work and/or considering the afterlife of the work I make.  I am inspired by childhood creativity and nostalgia, world building, games and the natural environment.' jeffmccann.com.au
