Studio Journal
My journal is much more than a diary—it’s a record of my creative journey, helping you understand why a painting exists, why I chose to work on this at this time and not just how it was made.
From time to time, I will share my thoughts, struggles, and successes in this journal.
Repeat Message
Today’s mahi
‘Repeat message’
The pīwakawaka (also known as the New Zealand fantail) is one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most recognizable and beloved native birds. Belonging to the scientific genus Rhipidura fuliginosa, these tiny, energetic insectivores are famous for their acrobatic flight patterns and fearless curiosity around humans.
Courage & Protection
Today’s work another Celtic Design with my favourite Crows as a feature.
Band Rotunda, Wellington.
Last weekends work. Sketched another famous Wellington building.
Project - Black Panther
Finally happy with my next Pop art design.
The infamous Black Panther that has taken me weeks to perfect and countless attempts.
Wellington Railway Station
Located at 2 Bunny Street, Pipitea, serves as the primary public transport hub for New Zealand's capital city. As the busiest rail terminus in the country, it serves as the southern gateway for the North Island Main Trunk line, linking urban commuters and long-distance travellers alike.
Working on a new sketch over the next couple of days.
Working on my next sketch of an iconic Wellington building that most of us Wellingtonians who have frequently on a regular occasion.
Any idea what Building this is?
‘59 Corvette
This morning I woke up and wanted to draw another classic car for my small drawing series for these beautiful machines. I had been looking at images and videos of Chevrolet Corvette’s and found one I really liked. Thinking to myself - if I ever purchased a classic car, this might be the one.
Butterflies
Today’s rough sketch of a watercolour collection I am planning to create.
The collection will be four watercolours of Monarch Butterflies. I will paint all three individually then really stretch my self and try to paint them all together with a background of swamp plants etc for the final piece.
57 Chevrolet Bel Air
A few weeks ago I ran into a car show outside Mitre10 on the Kapiti Coast. I took a large number of photos for possible art projects, and today one of those has been completed.
