Jack Of The Dust: Unearthed Relics of Humanity

Andy Firth is a self-taught Australian artist of the social generation, known for his signature canvas: the human skull. Capturing the gentle intricacies of lives once lived, Firth’s work has captivated an engaged audience of over 2.5 million people Worldwide, his clientele includes Joe Rogan, Slash, Jason Momoa, Chris Brown and Nikkie Tutorials. 

For the past decade, Firth has remained widely anonymous under the title ‘Jack of The Dust’. Established in a home garage in 2013, his operation’s alluring namesake is an 1800s Royal Navy term that represents Firth’s revival of characters, cultures and the stories that surround them. 

Each remarkably original piece is hand-made in Australia by manipulating mixed media such as acrylic, clay and cinema-grade urethane resin imported from the U.S. to resemble skin, steel, stone and bone. Firth’s imagination-fuelled surprise-and-delight approach to subjects and styles serves to ignite wonder, nostalgia and belonging.

Firth has now grown Jack of The Dust to a full-time crew of 15, and operates from two Burleigh Heads warehouses spanning 7500 square feet on Australia’s Gold Coast. Jack of The Dust exists to crack through the limits of imagination on adventure, where the human experience is never truly dead and gone.
