“SWOK!’ and “BLAM!” 75x75cm acrylic on canvas.

I’d had the idea of a Ukiyo-E geisha figure over the top of a comic book exclamation type image for a while and did a trial run on some old cheap canvases with the geisha figure as a sihouette. They looked ok (we have one on our wall, so I see it every day and enjoy it being there), but doing the geisha properly stepped it up a bit. I’ll be doing some similar pieces again at some stage this year.

“BLAM!” is sold, pending the completion of the deal, but “SWOK!” is available. Do please get in touch if you’d like it on your wall.

Practise runs below.

Two, similar to the three that didn’t take ten.

“Doshin wa no guwa ookii” Ichi and Ni.

61x92cm. I really like these, as to me they look more like modern day “Ukiyo-E” than my other work. Probably because they are pretty much just the Ukiyo-E geisha characters with a graphical background!

Ichi.

Ni.

These are available for purchase. You could have the pair for $1200 New Zealand dollars – shipped within NZ for an additional $40, but can also be shipped to most other places for $150nzd.

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:

Two more. Yes indeed!!

“A Biru… Biru…”. If you guessed that the title is a Google translation of the speech bubble, then you’re darn well correct! Nice one! Congratulations!! Omedeto!!! You win Tuesday!!!!

“Kusuri… Osugiru… Shigamitsuku koto ga dekinai…”. Again – a Google translate of the speech bubble – but I think you know how to play this game by now. Still – I admire your consistency. Mmmmmm… so consistent…

New work(s) desu!

It’s been some time since I last posted, but totemo isogashi desu.

Firstly, I finished 男、その8ビットの弾丸が私の一日を作った、ビル。, which is this one:

Also finished “Kanojo mo, ‘misutãsupãkuru’ no chōsen o ukeireru koto o eranda.”

and “Bishōjo sěrãmûn wa itsumo watashi no senaka o motte ita…”

Then painted a skateboard deck for the Show Us Your Deck exhibition at the Incubator gallery in Tauranga, New Zealand.

Then 3 12×12 pieces (“Hitori de iru koto ga nani o imi suru no ka watashitachi wa shitte imasu” 1, 2 & 3.) for the 111 exhibition at the same gallery:

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.

As the title is a rough translation of, it’s “un named as yet”, which it might continue to be, or I might let Mr fb translatotron do it’s magic. This is acrylic on a hardboard panel – have almost finished the next one on a hardboard panel too. Although I think I prefer canvas. Probably.
