Cut Collective

I love Cut Collective, a group of artists in Auckland who focus on street art and stencil projects... I found a gem on K'Road last week...




So true... ;)

Saying "I Love You, Mom" in NZ

Oh, God- Thank you for my friend Lala and Bethels beach on April 25... 2 years after I lose my momma, and here I am at one of the most beautiful places on Earth...

MOM

It has been 2 years since mom passed on April 25th 2008. I made this altar for her for Dia los Muertos that year in November... I wanted to capture her "wow" moment artistically, "wow" was her last word! Its an AMAZING and true story, and embodies my sweet, wise mommy...so maybe one day I can tell you all about it. She was my best friend forever, and a truly stellar and beautiful mom. Lucky for me I had 25 years with her. ♥

Visit to Coro/Cora

So, I caught a ride to Coromandel town with Tam & Nick, and stayed with Cora gypsy-style in her housetruck, and had a righteous week up in the Coromandel bush. The cafe was almost just as I left it, with a slight change of the cast of characters.
Here is Tam acting out one of my favorite cafe moments: She and Mehow yelling at me for not understanding the difference between Car and Cow (pronounced in Kiwi, sounds IDENTICAL)
And here is Cora with one of our paintings. We made four that week and hung them in the cafe in the middle of the night ninja-style.
