One Little Pig – Matt Shanks’ Shop

Note from the artist

I love drawing pigs. They are super-expressive and fun (probably also why Piglet was my favourite character in Winnie the Poo). I wondered what it would be like to draw a pig with a little upset stomach and no you or I need not wonder anymore.

My deep gratitude to our traditional custodians

I have lived and worked my whole life in Gadigal and Boon Wurrung Country in what we now call Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past and present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and through my work, aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
