Spring Time graffiti murals

It’s being raining a lot, but I’ve still managed to paint plenty of wall art, or graffiti murals, or whatever you wanna call it!

First up, some office interior walls I’ve doing for the DHL offices in Auckland:

This next graffiti piece is for a forthcoming new NZ TV series, they requested it to look authentic and not too detailed!

Another restaurant feature wall, this is in “Deco” in Titirangi, a reproduction of an old newspaper clipping.  Yes, this is hand-painted!

And lastly, neither a mural nor graffiti, this a sand sculpture of a Maui dolphin with snapper in foreground, created with my talented colleagues Paul Walsh and Elliot Stewart out at Piha beach.

Talento & get it on

I’ve had a very busy month, making the most of the late summer by getting out and creating murals in Auckland… some for Ponsonby agency “Talento”  and some public health murals promoting safe sex.  Check em!

Ponsonby mural

This is a mural painted for the Grey Lynn / Ponsonby community on a construction site hoarding, next to other murals from other leading local artists.  Some of my finest work to date!

The mural depicts Auckland City as viewed from the Ponsonby Road ridgeline, in circa 1812.  Based on pictures from the Auckland Library and City Council archives, plus special thanks to local historian Edward Bennett.
