Custom Indigenous Artwork & Racing Livery Design

How We Helped:

Smyth Studio developed custom Indigenous artwork and racing livery designs for two Erebus Motorsport Supercars. Working alongside artist Jedess Hudson and the Erebus team, we translated two individual stories into bold, high-impact designs that could stand independently while remaining visually connected on the track.

V8 Supercars: Culture in motion

For us, this isn’t just about design — it’s about storytelling in motion, with culture, connection, and Country leading the way.

From concept to completion, Smyth Studio is proud to have worked closely with artist Jedess Hudson and the Erebus team to deliver two powerful livery designs that honour different stories while standing strong together on the track.

Client Overview

Erebus Motorsport is a leading Australian Supercars team competing on the national stage. For the Indigenous Round, Erebus partnered with Smyth Studio and Indigenous artist Jedess Hudson to transform two race cars into moving canvases — sharing stories of culture, connection and Country at speeds of over 300km/h.

  • The challenge was to respectfully translate culturally significant artwork onto an unconventional, fast-moving canvas. Each car needed to tell its own story while working cohesively as a pair, balancing cultural storytelling with the technical requirements, sponsor branding and visual impact of a professional racing livery.

  • For Jack Le Brocq’s #9 car, “Power Through Connection,” Jay Hobbs created the original artwork and full livery design, representing the invisible threads connecting people, place and purpose.

    For Cooper Murray’s #99 car, “Fuelled by Fire,” we worked with original artwork by Jedess Hudson, developing supporting artwork and the broader livery to create visual cohesion between both cars.

    Throughout the process, we worked closely with Jedess and Erebus Motorsport to ensure culture and storytelling remained at the centre of every design decision.

  • The result was two distinct yet connected racing liveries that brought culture into motion on a national stage. More than race cars, they became fast-moving canvases — creating visibility for Indigenous stories and celebrating culture, pride and connection throughout the Indigenous Round.
