To celebrate what would have been Bon Scott’s 80th birthday, the Bon Scott Estate has partnered with legendary Australian artist Reg Mombassa on a new original artwork and merch collection.
Rather than create a traditional portrait of Bon, Reg built the artwork around a symbolic figure that captures Bon’s spirit in a way that feels raw, strange, funny, and unmistakably Australian.
The piece features a guitar-bodied character with a lion’s head, inspired by Bon’s own lion tattoo, holding a microphone in tribute to one of rock and roll’s most recognizable voices. The result is part tribute, part rock emblem, and part Reg Mombassa world: bold, offbeat, and full of life.
The artwork also now appears in AC/DC Lane in Melbourne, placing the tribute in one of the most meaningful locations connected to Bon’s legacy. For fans in Australia and around the world, the piece connects Bon’s music, Reg’s iconic visual style, and the lasting cultural impact of two Australian originals.
The new Reg Mombassa x Bon Scott collection brings the artwork to a curated release of apparel and accessories created for fans celebrating Bon’s 80th birthday.
The Reg Mombassa x Bon Scott collection is available now.
