Eggpicnic is a Canberra based design studio devoted to wildlife conservation set up by designers and birders Camila De Gregorio and Christopher Macaluso. They devote their work and illustrations to wildlife conservation, working collaboratively together, and with science. They create characters that tread a fine line between art and design, aiming to capture the beauty of the natural world with the hope of inspiring others to protect it. 

They are part of a new era of artists who use their talents to open our eyes to the world around us, bringing colourful ecosystems into everyday life and creating striking reminders for those in urban environments that we are not the only species worth serving. 

Home Story is a collection of works, created between 2018 and 2022, featuring iconic, vulnerable and endangered habitats and species of Australia. Over the years humanity has built an invisible wall between humans and everything else—a wall which frees us from accountability, dependency, and responsibility toward those beings on the “other side”. Home Story is an invitation to let our walls fall and experience this space with a sense of wonder, intimacy and responsibility for the future.
