Dion Beasley and 'Cheeky Dogs'
You might have already heard of Cheeky Dogs, or seen the eye catching designs. Drawn by seventeen-year-old Dion Beasley from Tennant Creek, his drawings are very popular and, with the help of Joie Boulter they have created a label for T shirts and other apparel called 'Cheeky Dogs'.
Dion has drawn the conference logo, and Cheeky Dogs will be providing the conference satchels.
Dion has recently been awarded 2010 The Charles Darwin University Arts Award at the NT Young Achiever Awards.
What makes this story so remarkable is that Dion is profoundly deaf and suffers from muscular dystrophy.
A trust fund has been established for Dion where he receives royalty payments for the use of all his drawings. The conference is proud to support Dion and Cheeky Dogs. If you would like to see more about Cheeky Dogs go to www.cheekydogs.com.au
