SICKNASTY is a small business run out of a backyard shed. Rain or shine, the printing and designing happens right here in Adelaide.
Nothing is perfect but it's full of love and excitement and this project will grow in a really beautiful and powerful way.
The first release is small but tough, hoping to introduce further prints monthly along with a quarterly zine.
I aim to work with the world as much as possible and while I'm not there from the get go it is of the most importance to try better and do better. This is a journey I am passionate about and I hope to find the most ethically sourced, Fairtrade, organic materials. I want to reach a sustainable business model as soon as possible. The packaging, swing tags and swing tag twine are totally Earth friendly. The postage packaging is compostable and the swing tags have native Australian seeds embedded in them! Plant them in your backyard!
Another thing I am passionate about at SICKNASTY (and having the privlege to run a business) is to pay it forward. Part of selected sales will be donated to a great cause. This will either go to funding for First Nations Peoples and Torres Strait Islanders, enviormental programs or the LGBTQIA+ community. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to send them through! You can keep up with past donations on the Donations page! Please feel free to donate directly.
SICKNASTY is all about feeling good, feeling strong and doing your best! I may get a little sloppy in many departments sometimes and that's life. So let's get sloppy in style. To all the gremlins out there, I can't wait to see what direction this goes in and I have been so, so excited to birth this creative mutt. I may be but a foetus right now but no matter who I am when I grow up, I want you to know that I will always float through this process with integrity, accountability and genuine vibes.
Much love and thank yous, Daria/SICKNASTY.
