Sea Art Gallery
It’s not everyday
that you’re invited to exhibit your work in a local gallery and so when Rod of the Seabury Arts gallery down in Foxton Beach, New Zealand asked me; I jumped at the chance.
Seabury Arts is an incredibly small community of artists local to Foxton Beach and the surrounding areas. They each take it in turns to sit in the gallery and speak with passers by, or pass the time…

There Were Others Too
When I got to working, I got to working hard. Here are a few other pieces from my time there down in Foxton.
As always, everything can be obtained through my Etsy & Depop online stores.

Ta Moko
And The Rest
of the Ta Moko Tattoo paintings I made before abandoning this line of enquiry. It would turn out a few months later after applying to a mural job with similar ideas, that the Mauri are incredibly sensitive to artworks of this nature. I created these pieces but found many people wanted nothing to do with them based on that fact alone.

Aroha Mai, Aroha Atu
I was certainly becoming intrigued by the Ta Moko Tattoo style. After extensive research I found some amazing paintings by some of the early European settlers to New Zealand. Artists such as Sydney Parkinson, Louis John Steele, Gottfried Lindauerand perhaps most famously Charles F Goldie
I found a vintage leather satchel in one of Foxton town’s second hand shops and made my own renditions of one…

Back to My Craft
Part of the mania I was experiencing in my early days of New Zealand was being stuck in the past – having lost some of my greatest ever work back in Thailand.
Losing something you spend SO long working on is enough to destroy any remaining ambition you may have in you. It took me a while to pick up a paintbrush again, even to find the inspiration, yet I knew like all good practices it requires…

Ocean Beach Eatery
The sister (or brother) venue to The Little White Rabbitwas Ocean Beach Eateryor O.B.E for short.
O.B.E was like the adult version of the Rabbit and when the Rabbit closed the Chef would literally jump onto his electric scooter and head 5 mins up the road to open the kitchen there for the evening.
It was a popular little night spot where you could get a beer and a bite, occassionally watch some…

Little White Rabbit
As mentioned before, I spent these months working as a Barista & waiter in the Foxton Beach coffee shop; The Little White Rabbit.
I am grateful to these guys for hiring me and so I will do a little appreciation post to show the location and some of the wonderful chalk boards I created for them.

The Power Of Now
I was Confused…. ….suddenly unbalanced… & yearning for Freedom
I had run to Wellington from Auckland, I had run also from Wellington down to Foxton Beach where I had gained what my Father would call ‘another shit job’ and now I was planning to run again. Nothing concrete but the wheels of my mind had indeed…

On touching down
I immediately felt so drained and within just a few days I had come down with something rather severe. I won’t go into details but my body was ejecting from almost all orofaces. I never worked out what it was all about but I attributed it to a combination of physical and mental exaustion. Physical because I had to take a series of cheap flights…

Damn, Gravity
We were joined
by another friend from the old country – Toby Stokes – and together all four of us embarked on bit of inner-country travel. Toby had longed to break the chains of oppression that he considered his day job. He had also longed to ‘fix’ himself, also, as he often suffered from numerous…

A Rabbit Aims For The Moon
It Certainly Explains
what I was attempting to do – the impossible. I was riding a new wave and riding high. Yet the funny thing about that feeling is the knowledge that it will come crashing down on the shoreline sooner or later. I felt like I was unstoppable, moving on whilst trying to start a brand new relationship.
“It’s like True Romance or Romeo + Juliet, you…

Chasing Angels or Fleeing Demons, Go To the Mountains
Following on from my previous post about Fewa Corner, I would like to post up a collection of previously unpublished photography from the first of my two visa runs to Nepal during this year.
This was a visa run I did to extend my stay in Rishikesh itself, to allow myself more time to learn the Yoga practice, meditate and paint. Before I took on any responsibility of trying to run a guest house…

Last Days Of Rishikesh
It was so sad
however, my time had come to leave the place that gave me so much. I met so many amazing people, I made my manifestations come true and ran my own place for the first time; taking it from an empty building to a fully booked guest house full of long stay guests, I built a family, I fell in love over and over, I started to learn yogic…

Leaving Home
Leaving home on a trip often gives me a strange feeling. Not fear, but certainly an apprehension of whats to come.
I first went on a big trip back in 2010 after graduating from university and what was supposed to be a ‘year out’ turned out to be two and a half years on the road. I even became a high school teacher in a foreign country somewhere in the middle.
So my approach is that to truly…

Madness & Stardust
I wouldn’t be able
to tell the story of my time in Rishikesh without mentioning Madness & Stardust, or, Penny Lane & Lola Lya. Two friends who met years earlier at university in Holland or Germany or somewhere in Europe at least. Penny was native to Holland and Lola; Germany, yet since meeting they had stuck together as a kind of power couple and…

Adithiya & Deepeche Mode
Boys; You’re both sharing this post I’m afraid cause you kinda came to me as quite a comedic double act.
These two guys had such a beautiful energy, even though they were always f’d up smoking heaps of weed. Then they got on the boular vibe with me and somehow managed to procure bags and bags of the stuff from someone local. It meant that all three of us entered into a kind of gluttonous, stoned…
