Hey guys,
You might be thinking, where have you been, and why haven’t you been drawing?
Well the reason I’ve been pretty quiet is because I’ve been secretly working on a project with my friend Tiga at Infinity Web to fundraise some money to donate to the Christchurch earthquake relief efforts.
I’m very pleased to say that Part [...]

Last weekend, a couple of good friends and I went away to Omaha / Leigh. We chilled in the sun. Then when night fell, we dressed to the 9’s and became dancing maniacs at the Leigh Sawmill Cafe. What was there? Kitty, Daisy & Lewis! & Heart Attack Alley who were a GREAT opening act. [...]

This weekend I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in MONTHS. I had lost my desire to paint for a while, mainly because I felt like I was technically not where I wanted to be in terms of skill level. But then I had a moment of clarity. With my other painting I [...]

Hmmm, I don’t usually like to explain the meaning of my stuff, but this has been on my mind a bit.
Consumerism and Capitalism. The Race for Wealth. Money. Things. Objects. Products. Materialism. I’m over it. When did the world become so fixated with money, objects, commodity, and other things of only material value? Moving out [...]

Just found this photo I took in 2005 on a small 3mp point and shoot.
It was taken at around 5 or 6am from the edge of the water in Kawhia, by a Marae (That’s Maori for ‘meeting house’) we stayed for a few days while at Uni. I remember this morning well, Stayed up [...]

This is the view from the deck at sunrise. The sky had some cool colours going on so I took a photo while half asleep. Moving out this week, so this will be the last shot from home! But I’ll try to be more productive with the camera at the new place. Promise!

URGH Sorry for the lack of updates. Been too busy lately to do much. Damn. But ‘Come Draw Pictures’ is a good way to push yourself back into being creative. Score! Here’s a quick sketch I did that night of Nick.

Great timing for me to get my camera! The lantern festival was this weekend so I went along with some friends to get some photos. These are my first ever photos with this camera, so bear with me. Still learning!

Went to see TCV live on Saturday. all I can say is. WOW. Amazing. the musicianship was so good. The band were so tight, they looked like they’ve been playing together for years. They definitely look like they have fun on stage together too. playing off each others talent.
It was actually hard to decide [...]

This video is so cool. It’s pretty sad though – just a caution if you don’t want to look like you’re about to cry in front of your mates haha. Wonderful shots throughout and the quality of the video is rad. Great story and insight into the relationship with man’s best friend.

Since I haven’t posted any work in a while (Promise some is coming soon), I thought I’d show some work of an artist that is really cool. His name is Derek Albeck, 26 and from Los Angeles. He does amazing work with graphite and gouache. Anyway check it out.
