Bold colours and rude hues are present in everything he creates as Austin's endeavors began by working on late 90s indie-pop videos while painting and pasting up large portraits across London and far-away places. His frequent poster missions developed into a very graphic street art career, and he now works on fine artworks and select design projects. He paints on anything, taking great care to create his images and his work has been shown in galleries and magazines worldwide. AustinVonNew works tirelessly day and night to spread happiness, joy and the love of print.

Leigh Bowery (26 March 1961 – 31 December 1994) was a performance artist, club promoter and fashion designer based in London and is considered one of the more influential figures in the 1980's and 1990's London and New York art and fashion circles. His influence reached through the fashion, club and art worlds to impact, amongst others, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Boy George and John Galliano
Leigh Bowery An icon of outrage embodied and transcended the hedonistic spirit of London's alternative nightclub culture in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Dressed in the wildest of costumes which he painstakingly made himself, he presided over the most bacchanalian of nightclubs the legendary Taboo at Maximus in London's West End.
Often described as one of fashion's true geniuses, Leigh designed costumes for his friend Michael Clark - Britain's finest modern dancer and toured as a performer in his company. He was invited by London gallery owner Anthony d'Offay to exhibit himself as an artwork and in 1988 Leigh embarked on the first of a series of shocking performances in London and abroad. An international cult figure and performer with his band Minty he became more famous still when he was discovered by Lucian Freud for whom Leigh became chief muse and model.
