I’m sure you’ve heard me mention I’ve been thinking of setting up a little shop. Well, it’s not up yet.. still working through a few exciting ideas first.. BUT I am eager to start selling my work! I have no idea how much it’s worth and have had difficulty deciding on price, so I thought I’d conduct a little experiment. The price is completely up to you! The selling of these pictures will function similar to a silent auction. You email me with which image you’re hoping to snap up and who ever emails by 11:59PM Sunday 1/4/2012 with the highest $ will win their chosen picture! All images are originals, one of a kind and will come framed. (please note, postage costs not included)
This will be fun

Hello! Exhibition opening was a success! Thank you so much to everyone who came along, really meant a lot. Im impressed we managed to get it finished (poor Adrian waiting for my images to swap!) I came back from an impromptu weekend trip to Wellington Monday morning and begun painting sometime mid-afternoon – yes three days out from installation day. Haha seems Bec was on the money when she mentioned our Last Minuteness.. nevertheless it was completed!
Heres a few happy snaps from the night (thanks Adrian!)
my first realistic self-portrait – 1 hour til hanging and its still drying.. whoops
and one for vanity.
New Year Resolution #7 complete. Happy hap.
Next on the cards is a trip to the homeland, Japan with my dad. His new passport was delivered just 3 minutes ago so its all systems go now! Really cant wait. Dont be surprised if I dont come back.

So Ive a spare minute to update you on all things exhibition! Surprisingly its coming together (yes ill admit I had my doubts). However, yesterday was a very horrible day. Couldnt draw or paint which made me feel very much at odds with myself and so I became a Very Angry Person. Two days to complete a body of work and no ability to create such a thing! Youd be angry too.. Thankfully though, after a day of Mentally Preparing Myself while at work (ie.. ignoring the situation) Ive managed to get some things done tonight. thank god. Ive still to re-do my self portrait, but that can wait til 3am.. Ive got time…….

I went to visit my Pop this weekend down the coast. His place will always be one of my favourite in the world. City living leaves me smog-minded a bit too often and going to his place tends to rid those cares, or at least help me see through them.
This is a picture of my favourite road
As usual I took more books than clothes (ps found the most sweestest bookstore on my way down! books circa 1830s!! bliss) and happened upon this, its taken from Drawn to Life Vol 2 by Walt Stanchfield:
I know its lame but I dont care. I think I’ll take these on as my new years resolutions.. speaking of resolutions! Last week I spent some time writing down what I wanted to achieve this year (yes, I do love a good corny list). One thing on my list was ‘I want to exhibit’.. I put down my pen and not even a minute later an email appears in my inbox from the other half of Boom Blip Blip asking if Id like to exhibit at Bohemian Grove.. Um?! haha of course I said yes and of course the exhibition opens in less than one month and of course I have nothing yet prepared. I’m sure you’ll see more updates on here though as things (hopefully) get moving.
Anyway, here are three pictures I painted while I was away. And I’m thinking of putting them up for sale.. how exciting! Let me know if youre interested and you can have first dibs.

today was meant to be the day to film the Karoshi clip for Walking in Fields but Zeus had other plans. Instead of a beautiful golden sunset we’ve been blessed with grey skies and showers for the evening. Harumpf. We did get a few test shots to play around with grading and focus.
