Almost done with my work for this year’s NZ Art Show , so will post about that in a couple of days. In the mean time, these are from last year!
Himawari 75x75cm
Wasabi 75x75cm
Budo 50x50cm
Ichigo 50x50cm
Umi 50x50cm
I’ve also been working on my photography!
If you’re in the area over Kings Birthday Weekend you should get on down to TSB Arena and Shed 6. It’s pretty darn excellent.

..and…
…I felt that something with a bit more surface area might be worth a try. A Specialized Fat Boy sure as heck fit that bill, and as luck would have it, a young fellow who used to give me a whupping on the race tracks had one such frame that he was keen to have Kiramekisan-ed.
Enjoyed it so much I might just do more! Next one might even be a carbon race frame…
In general. But specifically in this case – Zuckerburg, for how Facebook and Instagram have become steadily more crap to use as a tool to promote your art. So for now I’ll be using this blog more and hopefully can stick it to the robots…
Which means I’ll be zooming all over the place time wise. That probably sounds a lot more exciting than it actually is, but at least I’m not bloated and orange (yep – gone political…). On that note, I’m looking forward to visiting the States when there are better people in charge. Hopefully that can happen.
So anyway, back to the art. 2024 was my first attempt at the New Zealand Art show in Wellington over Kings Birthday Weekend. Wasn’t able to make it down there myself, but sent some paintings down and they all now reside in new homes. Domoarigatogozaiimasu to the fine folk who purchased a Kiramekisan last year – I’ll have 8 more in this years show. Below are last years.

Please excuse my photgraphy – I hereby vow to improve.
