Mad World is a product of COVID 19. I would almost say it’s a sneak peek into my mind during this time.

Mad World ultimately began as a response to Picasso’s Guernica, but instead of a visual narrative in the act of war, I’ve responded with an internal battle, a war on the self. Mad World has a dynamic conflict of emotions, from death, destruction to transformation, and the notion that life will continue.

As all mural’s in The Digs Collection are inspired and named after a song, in this case, it’s Tears for Fears classic Mad World. Please note I’m also heavily drawn to the version that features in Donnie Darko, directed by Richard Kelly, performed by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews. Like the music the film also had a profound effect on me, it’s imaginative and thought-provoking. I like things that have a polarity of light and darkness.

I don’t just create wallpaper at The Digs Collection, for example, Mad World is a philosophical world with many polarising viewpoints.

Welcome to the Brightside, a creative agency, is the brainchild of international illustrator, artist, and designer Katie Brightside. The company is impassioned with a melting pot of creatives from vast spectrums of the arts and delivers unique design and artistic projects. The firm also houses The Digs Collection, a homeware company highlighting illustrated mural scale artwork, wallpaper, and handmade kimonos.

Brightside has secured several public art installations and personally received a WeHo Artist Grant, was an honoree of the Phyllis Morris Women in Leadership Award for Design and Entrepreneurship, and the John Chase accolade for Innovation of Art and Design at West Hollywood’s Creative Business Awards.

Today, Brightside defies creative boundaries as the imagineer, author and illustrator of BBA'S 2024 Regional Cookbook award-winning Once Upon a Cocktail – West Hollywood, a recipe book featuring 54 most cherished venues across the city. Brightside is also a contributing illustrator for Edible LA and heads-up the magazine's cocktail column, “Drink Me” every quarter.

Graduating with a BA in fashion at Kingston University, UK, 2001, Brightside moved to Treviso, Italy, where she worked as a designer at United Colours of Benetton. In 2002 she relocated to Sydney, Australia. In 2012, the aMBUSH Gallery hosted her first of many solo art exhibitions. This successful exhibition inspired a thirst for further education, a MA Fine Art from Central Saint Martin (CSM), London. After graduation Brightside sought advice from a White Witch, asking where she would live happily-ever-after. A week later Katie fulfilled that prophecy by moving to West Hollywood.
