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!

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:

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.
