At Cranky Croc we love everything outdoors from 4WD trips in the outback to camping on the coast. Our country is a truely beautiful place and its important to acknowledge community, culture, and identity. Introducing our Indigenous Footy Shorts, crafted by us at Cranky Croc in collaboration with the talented Jasmine Howell Saunders. A proud Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Wurrung artist based in central Victoria, Jasmine infuses her digital art with a deep connection to her heritage, creating a unique blend of storytelling and cultural expression.
With two stunning designs, one in pink and the other in orange, these Aussie footy shorts are more than just sportswear; they represent a celebration of Indigenous culture.
Meet Jasmine Howell Saunders: An Artist with a Story
Jasmine Howell Saunders is not just an artist; she is a vibrant storyteller who uses her craft to honor her ancestors and share her cultural heritage. Her artwork reflects her identity, weaving together ancestral knowledge, traditional storytelling, and a passion for maintaining and celebrating Aboriginal culture.
Having met Jasmine personally on multiple occasions, it's evident that she embodies warmth and charisma. Her friendly nature and genuine spirit make her an artist worth supporting. You can follow her journey on Instagram at [@artbyjasminelyn](https://www.instagram.com/artbyjasminelyn), where she shares her latest works and insights into her creative process.
We asked Jasmine to make us a design with complete freedom to do what she wants. When she showed us the design she incorporated four U shapes under the crocodile representing myself, my sister and my Mum and Dad, further proving how caring and thoughtful she is and why she's worth supporting. So please give her a follow!
Both the orange and pink designs are not merely aesthetics; they are reminders of the importance of cultural representation.
