Post-playing

In 2010 Domic's artistic ability led him to be selected from a field of six artists to design the Indigenous All Stars' jersey, as well as Johnathan Thurston's custom headgear, for the annual NRL All Stars matches. Much of his own knowledge in this area has been passed down to him from his grandmother, Ivy Domic. Through his fame from his playing career, he has visited children at many schools to expose them to Aboriginal culture and his work has been exhibited at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in the U.K.
