Hard travellin’ NZ mural artist

Here is a sweet little video of me painting a mural on a basketball court in Palmerston North with some new friends.  Credit: Street Prints
I usually avoid painting on the ground, but as my great friend Askew One (who designed the mural) was unable to make it and they were on deadline, I came in as substitute!
