Large-scale painting is a specialty of AAAD. The banner shown below was painted on cotton with a mix of water based house paints. It has been hung from stadiums, hotel balconies, woodchip ships, fig trees and more - and has been seen on TV and in the papers. It is 10m x 5m and took two weeks to paint.
A series of three vertical banners was produced for the Endangered Tibet campaign, and hung in the Powerhouse museum during a conference there that featured the Dalai Llama.
A "no economy without ecology" montage that was first used during Wollongong's Earth Day celebrations. During the Goolengook campaign this banner was walked across the pedestrian crossing in Orbost when the Premier Jeff Kennett approached in his limo. He did an illegal U-turn to avoid the protesters and soon fled town in shame.
"Beerbinge opens dugong massacre" - for Port Hinchinbrook's opening day, during which Premier Borbidge paraded about on a flash boat while beer and meat was laid on for supporters. The site resembled a huge barren carpark, with no structures, boat ramps or jetties. Did the developer forget that boats have to be parked in the water?
"Uranium mining is death" - painted for the Jabiluka blockade. The scene included caricatures of India and Pakistan waving bombs around, an anonymous boat dumping spent fuel rods at sea, a Nuclear reactor, an aboriginal couple giving birth to a radioactively deformed baby, the figure of death looking quite happy and a miner dying of lung cancer.
