Not sure, but I reckon this is just the right amount. Saw out last year and saw in this by painting quite a few 12 by 12 in canvases. I think they call this a “photo dump”. Could be wrong – it’s happened before.

How much 12 inch is too much 12 inch?

Let’s face it – taking decent photos of your work is overrated… Heh heh heh. Not really – and this was a reminder of my new resolve to take better photos in future. Or even better – take each piece to a professional to take even better shots. That’s the plan.
Skateboard decks are fun to paint. I like to paint both sides, because it feels a bit like cheating otherwise. Or something. With these I went for a Ukiyo-E type geisha character to the”graphic” side and went a bit wild with spraypaint and a halftone stencil (and a Mr Sparkle) on the top side. More colour for your dollar!
Graphic side – geisha and Powergirl!
Would look interesting with clear griptape! Although I probably wouldn’t recommend riding one of these…
Bike time is the right time.

After painting the 88′ Cyclecraft I decided that I wouldn’t paint another small diameter tubing 1980s BMX frame given what a mission it can be. Let alone forks. So when a friend asked if I would like to paint his early 80s Hattori Pro Sight frame of course I said yes.
Not sure what brand the handlebars were, but they’re “Ut Tentacles” now.
Sure, it all looks great on our very old deck that needs a stain, but how about on a wall surrounded by some killer artwork?
I have a few more bikes lined up to paint this year – all have a lot more paintable surface!
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.
