‘Jamie’

Jamie Dunn is a TV and radio personality, puppeteer and comedian. He was on B105’s morning show for 15 years, and is now on radio station 89.9 FM.
Tervo first met Dunn when he was 18, attempting to walk home from the Valley to Capalaba at 4am. By sheer coincidence, he stumbled across the path of Dunn in Cannon Hill. After hearing Tervo’s tale, Dunn drove out of his way to get a tired Tervo home.
This story is indicative of the deeds that go unmentioned by Jamie. This deeply paternal nature is evident as he rests a gentle hand on Agro, while the right hand, that is the soul of Agro, sits ready to perform. While the boisterous Agro has been Dunn’s facade, this portrait is a tribute to the magic of the caring man that sits quietly behind.
