About
The story
behind the rabbit
A space built in the belief that creativity is its own kind of courage.
The Beginning
Where it
started
FatRabbit began as a private corner — a place to put the things that wouldn't stay quiet. Stories half-formed in hotel rooms. Images taken on mornings when the light was too good to ignore. It existed, at first, only because someone close insisted it should.
Over time it became something more — a portfolio, an archive, a record of what emerges when you stop hiding your work from the world. Some of it is joyful. Some of it came from harder places. All of it is honest.
"Create quietly. Show up anyway."
The visual work sits at the edge of the nameable — mixed media that asks more than it answers. The fiction is stranger, more personal. The music arrived from loss. Together they form something that resists easy categories — which feels right.
FatRabbit is for people who create quietly and show up anyway.

The Artist
Brandon Smith —
FatRabbit
Somewhere between here and the next story
Brandon Smith aka FatRabbit is a mixed-media practitioner whose work operates in the liminal corridors between the soul, subatomic probability fields, and that shimmering conceptual space where consciousness pretends it knows what it's doing. His pieces aren't so much artworks as they are invitations — quiet murmurs encouraging viewers to slip briefly out of linear time and consider that their atoms are older than the sun, yet still somehow confused about rent.
Emerging from a background in interactive media, film, and radio, Smith spent years shaping stories across screens and airwaves before surrendering to the gravitational pull of visual art. His projects have accumulated multiple BAFTA nominations, heroically confirming an eternal status as an awards-season bridesmaid — ever-present, never garlanded, yet somehow more interesting for it. Along the way, he has contributed to global franchises of household names, each collaboration leaving him with a deeper understanding of how myth, commerce, and narrative collide in slow-motion splendour.
Trained in writing at the Adelaide Institute "roughly a geological age ago," Smith still threads language through his visual practice, allowing text, symbol, and narrative residue to seep into his pieces. His work often unfolds like the diary of a multidimensional traveller trying (and occasionally failing) to remember why they came to Earth in the first place.
Whether exploring the metaphysics of souls, the flirtatious chaos of the quantum realm, or the ongoing comedy of human existence, Smith creates with a kind of earnest irreverence — art that gestures at enlightenment whilst knowingly tripping over its own shoelaces.
Viewers are encouraged to approach his work with curiosity, openness, and the comforting awareness that the universe is probably laughing with them, not at them.
