THE ART OF MOUSTACHERY: Travis Garone

Travis Garone

MR. MONOPOLY REIMAGINED

Movember Co-founder and Global Brand & Creative Director, Travis Garone has also contributed a one-off artwork for auction, using black ink and acrylic on canvas in a reimagining that brings Mr Monopoly into the modern age.

“I’m excited and honoured to have my art hanging alongside the work of such a talented crew of the country’s top street artists. These guys have gone above and beyond in creating these pieces for Movember, and they really do represent the chance to own a piece of Australian history,” he said.

ABOUT TRAVIS GARONE

Before that very first moustache changed everything back in 2003, Trav was a creative who quickly made a name for himself doing what he loved - bringing artistic concepts to life for youth-driven surfing, skateboarding and music brands.

Then, a chance conversation in a Melbourne bar about the dying art of the moustache led Trav and his mate Lucky to launch Movember. The goal was simple: Disrupt the charity world. They kept it fun, kept it simple, kept it about men and in doing so, created not just a charity, but a movement.

As well as Movember, Trav is also the co-founder of cult streetwear label Doomsday and creative agency People Make Progress. It was Trav’s experience tapping into youth culture that was the driving force behind Movember’s brand, helping to make the movement appealing and popular with young men – something that was unparalleled in the charity sector at the time.
