Another 3 – didn’t take 10!

Completed these in October 2021. I think that may have been during a lockdown. Or after a lockdown. Or just before a lockdown maybe.
Now installed in their new home just south of Auckland, New Zealand. To the most excellently fantastic person who purchased them, once again – Domoarigatogozaiimasu!
1st 3 – almost took 10!

The first triptych that I started (have finished several since) around 9 years ago. Used some fairly cheap canvases as couldn’t really afford much much else at the time. Because of this, the frame of one of them warped a bit pretty quickly, so I gave up on them and started on some new work. Had worked on them a little over the years, then decided to get ’em done after finishing the Matua School toilets job. And as such it’s quite a cool collection of different elements that I’ve been painting at different times. Anpanman and Baikinman for example – we’d not long returned from living in Japan and my wee boy was a big fan!
New! For 2021!!

“Ahiru ga inainode, koko ni Mario ga imasu!” This is the first piece that I’ve managed to complete this year. Am in the midst of a couple of other projects, which unfortunately aren’t bringing in much $$ at the moment, so this is definitely available for purchase. It would look fantastic in your home. Or office. Or workplace.

My first solo exhibition exhibited itself at The Incubator gallery in Tauranga NZ in December 2020. Was quite a trip! And a good way to see out a year that presented a challenge or two for quite a few people. I respectfully invite you to feast yer peepers:
A new one! From last year, but new to here!!!

“Anata ga motte iru koto, tomodachi.”. Largest piece I’ve done to date at 91x123cm. Available for $2500NZ. free shipping to most NZ and Australian addresses. Further afield? I’m sure we could work something out…
Two more. Yes indeed!!

Kachimasu Ichi & Ni

What’s a couple of days between friends? Not much at all! Kachimasu Ichi & Ni, the first two of a set of five. San is under way, Yon & Go will be done after I’ve finished a couple of other things – which I’ll show right here on this very blog quite soon (you may have noticed that committing to precise times isn’t really my forte.).
This series should be in a solo exhibition (my first!) in November. Provided Covid hasn’t screwed even more up by then. But I’ll try to stay positive. Even if an amply proportioned woman did cough rice all over the table and floor at my wife’s place of work today.
I’ve suggested that she wear something like this when she goes in tomorrow.

Via my Google to facebook and back translating method it ends up being “She put flowers on her kimono”, which is ok, but I might need to try another method in future. Or name the next few from Homer Simpson quotes. Or Genbaku Onanies lyrics. Good to get it finished and it’s off to it’s new home. And I had some postcards made! PM me if you’d like one.
“ブルースは着物とウィッグのためによく働いた”.

As of this piece, my new naming convention will be to come up with a vaguely appropriate title, Google translate it in Japanese, then post it on my facebook page @misutasupakuru, then use the fb translate function to finalise the English moniker. In this case: “Bruce worked hard for her kimono and wig.”
