Meet the Badger

Hi, I'm Jas!

the illustrator, or 'badger', as I like to call it, behind Badgerton Illustrations, a small business situated in Meanjin/Brisbane.

After struggling for 10 years to fit myself into the legal industry like a star-shaped peg in a square-shaped hole; my reality as disabled and neurodivergent prompted my decision to make a dramatic change to focusing on my art and starting anew. What started as a necessary pivot loaded with creative potential early in 2025, has now become a healing and inclusive space allowing me to delve deep into my artistic expression.

With a passion for ceramics, illustration and experimenting with traditional art forms, and an aversion to all things beige, I enjoy creating artworks of funky critters featuring bold and colourful palettes.

Badgerton Illustrations currently offers prints, stickers, ceramic critter creations and one of a kind multi-medium framed artworks. 

  • Why 'Badgerton'?

    Badgerton comes from a play on words combining badger with Bridgerton.This came about because one day my partner just referred to the show as Badgerton as a silly joke and it stuck. I ended up liking it so much that it felt perfect when naming my art business :)

    Who is the badger mascot?

    The badger featured in all my branding is my mascot Bartholomew or 'Barry' for short. I like to say I am the badger behind Badgerton but Barry is the badger upfront and centre.
