It’s almost been a year, and it was a show, with a lot of art, but for me not this year…

It’s almost NZ Art Show time, but I won’t be there this year. So I thought I might post the work I had in it last year, as I threatened to do in the previous post, almost a year ago. I’d had Covid at the beginning of the year which produced some ongoing issues and slowed things down a bit. So had a bit less in the show than I’d hoped, but they are all in new homes now, so that’s super!

Firstly, 4 61×91.5 canvases…

“BKOOM!”

“KRAKADOOM!”

“ZWUMP!”

“TRABAM!”

…then 4 50×50 canvases.

“Aki”

“Fuyu”

“Haru”

“Natsu”

You might notice that I was starting to play around with spray paint and stencils in the smaller canvases. More on that soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

SWOK! BLAM! NEW! POST!

“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.

The Ghost Who Walks. And Swims. And hangs on it’s new owner’s wall.

“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.

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…

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.
