This wearable art collaboration connects Australian illustrator Liv Lee with a group of students from Duduk Atas Elementary School in Senggigi, Lombok. Their drawings — filled with playful shapes, tropical colors, and imaginative creatures — inspired Liv to create a design that captures the joy of childhood and the beauty of nature. Known for her organic forms and vibrant palettes, Liv reinterpreted the kids’ artwork into a lively, botanical pattern that radiates positivity. Together they created wearable art that celebrates creativity in its purest form — reminding us that playfulness is a universal language.
Liv Lee, an Australian-based artist, illustrator, and maker of goods, has a distinctive style that features bright, bold, and often wonky interpretations of plants, fruit, and animals. Her art evokes happiness and nostalgia, capturing the essence of nature in delightful ways. Her work celebrates the imperfect beauty of the natural world, from bendy bananas to droopy tulips and misshapen melons. Liv Lee’s wonky paintings of plants, flowers, and fruit are sure to bring a smile to your face.
Liv Lee about her collab
Why Liv Lee wanted to design a Face This T-shirt
“I absolutely loved the idea of creating a piece of work with the kids! It’s just such a fun brief that also 100% benefits the children – how could I say no to that!”

Liv Lee about the Indonesian kids' drawings
“They all spoke to me, I loved them all. Sometimes as an artist today, you worry about things that you absolutely shouldn’t when making art – like how it will perform on Instagram, rather than simply making art that you love. And this can then influence the final piece. What I saw with the children’s drawings was that they were all created from such a pure place, without worrying about those external influences – to me, they all look raw and honest and 100% themselves and that’s a really beautiful thing.”

“My theme for the piece was ‘Nature’s Playground’ so I chose drawings of flowers and animals that would complement my other elements.”
