Mulga is the creative alter ego of Joel Moore, a Sydney-based artist celebrated for vibrant, summer-themed illustrations, murals, print designs, merchandise, poetry, and brand collaborations filled with tropical characters and good vibes.

Joel Moore

Mulga lives and works in Cronulla, Sydney—a coastal suburb that heavily influences his style and characters.

In primary school in year 5 when he was 11 a friend dubbed him “Mulga” after he recited Mulga Bill’s Bicycle by famed Australian poet Banjo Paterson in class. The name endured and became his artist persona.

Before diving into art full-time, Mulga worked as a paraplanner in a financial planning business. Eventually, he’d had enough and decided to chase his passion for making art. His plan? Create rad artwork, print it on tees, and sell them at weekend markets. For two years, he juggled markets, art exhibitions, and any creative gig he could land. In 2014, he took the leap and committed full-time. These days, Mulga paints murals, runs workshops, designs merch, and collaborates with some of the world’s biggest brands to share his vibrant, summer-loving art with the world

Recognizable for detailed black linework, bold color palettes, and playful characters - like bearded gorillas, tropical animals, surf legends, flamingos in sunnies, and quirky poetic stories.

Beach culture, surfing, live music, family life (he’s a dad of three), tropical holidays, and the laid-back sunny Australian coast.

When painting larger scale artworks such as murals he paints with a brush using exterior paint from brands such as Haymes, Taubmans, Resene, Dulux, British Paints. 

When painting smaller scale artworks he uses Posca paint markers.

No, he prefers to use brushes or markers as he wants his artworks to have clean lines.

Yes, he has painted murals on walls located on streets making him a street artist. Most of his murals are commissioned works so are located in places like schools, businesses and homes.

He was born in Sydney in an area called the Sutherland Shire.

He was born in the 1980’s in a time of shoulder pads and permed hair.

Mulga always loved creating and decided he wanted to have a job he loved and because he didn't love his finance job he decided to pursue his art more seriously.

Yes, in high school he studied art and was popular with the other students and his teacher due to his talent. He did not study art after high school, instead he obtained a Bachelor of Economics and Finance from the University of NSW. He is a big believer in learning things by doing it. 

He believes beards bring personality and a touch of whimsy. Plus, he rocks a great one himself!

Yes—he plays guitar with his brother and friends in a band called Mulga’s Room. Music and art go hand in hand.

Surfing, skateboarding, playing music, spending time with his family, and exploring nature—these often weave into his art themes.

No, Mulga’s home studio is private and not open to the public.

Hundreds of murals can be found in schools, businesses, and public spaces across Australia. View the full collection in the Mural Gallery.
