Little Lotus Project – Goodbye Mae Sot!
For the final week of the Spinning Top Little Lotus Project we worked with the community out at Sky Blue School. The week was filled with daily art classes, building a shelter for the kids, interviews, and painting some massive murals. Above is a picture of the beautiful murals done on the front of the [...]
Little Lotus Project – Week One Recap
It’s Sunday evening here in Mae Sot, and I am chilling out after finishing up with the first week of the Spinning Top Little Lotus Project. I think I can speak for the group in saying we are all a bit sad to say goodbye to the kids at SAW. In one week we accomplished [...]

When Artists Take Over St Kevins Arcade
So in the midst of Auckland Council cracking down on all things Street Art around Auckland city, this wall came just in time! Located on the ‘official RWC walking trail’ the Auckland Council actually commissioned the Cut Collective team to paint the walls leading up the St Kevins Arcade stairs. Seemed a bit strange considering [...]
Tiffany Singh
Tiffany Singh is one of my very most favourite artists in New Zealand. With her upcoming exhibition at Whitespace Gallery on the 6th of December, I thought this was the perfect time to do a feature on her. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Tiffany and her work over the last two [...]
Sara Orme
I came across Miss Sara’s whimsical polaroids and fell in love. So much so that I sent her some fan mail which turned into an interview that I am now sharing with all of you. Hope you like! Where are you from, where do you live and how long have you been into photography? Originally, [...]
LAST GASP!
Last Thursday I helped organize ‘LAST GASP’ a solo exhibition by the Grey Lynn local GASP. He has been hitting the streets hard over the last 10+ years and now it is time for him to hit the gallery scene. By the number of works sold and the rad creatives and collectors that turned up [...]

From 6-9pm across over 25 venues along K Road on the first Thursday in October 5,000 or so art lovers got together and had some fun! Here are a couple of pics I took during the evening. Thanks so much to all the talented people that participated in the last event and all the rad [...]
Last night I snuck into Naughty By Nature.
Was having a quite night cap at D.O.C. when I heard the news….Naughty By Nature was in town. My mission was clear, I had to get in there and bring it back to the 90′s. Apologies to the promoter if you’re reading this. One thing lead to another…these things just happen sometimes.
Pop Up Events in Auckland’s Mid Town
About a month ago I started a new contract organizing pop up events in Auckland’s Mid Town CBD. So far this project has been so much fun! My employers have been kind enough to trust me and leave me to go at it with full creative control. This has given me the opportunity to work [...]
Paint day @ a RWC Fan Zone
Last Friday evening I got together with five local artists to paint a bunch of crates for one of the new Rugby World Cup Fan Zones. The scope was that the crates had to be painted with a RWC theme. After seven hours of pretty much straight painting the guys had powered through 46 of [...]
Top 10 Street Art Pics . S e p t 11
A while back I was asked to do a monthly guest spot on Invurt Magazine, a Melbourne based street art online mag. They wanted me to send through my top 10 street art photographs I stumbled upon each month. I’m definitely not an expert, and everyone has their own tastes, but anyhoo here are my [...]
The Dirty 13 – Opening Night
Last Wednesday was the opening of The Dirty 13, a street art exhibition I had the pleasure of being apart of this year. This exhibition was part of a larger event happening at the Basement called The Basement Fest. Charlie and the team at The Basement were awesome to work with and it was such [...]
Melbourne Street Art
Melbourne is such a rad city! Around every corner and every lane there seems to be an endless supply of visual stimuli and creative expression. Perfect place for someone interested in street photography! I literally took hundreds of pictures during my two week visit last June. Here are a few of my favourites. Enjoy x [...]

NZ Artists Spotted in The Streets of Melbourne
Walking the streets of Melbourne I stumbled upon a few familiar artists from Kiwi Land. A hint of Auckland based artist City left from his last trip to Melbourne. Cut Collective spotted at Section 8, China Town. Currently based in Melbourne, NZ born artist Drab is going hard in the streets of Melbourne. Really loved [...]
Beautifying Karangahape Road – One Wall At A Time
With the recent campaign against street art (and in my mind a creative and vibrant Auckland City) by our local city council leading up to the Ruby World Cup there’s only one thing to be done. Fight back! I know I am not the only one that was extremely upset (to say the least) when [...]
Red Bull Wreckers Yard – NZ artists in Melbourne
Last month I spent two weeks exploring the streets of Melbourne, and the city definitely lived up to its hype! Great food (mmmm dumplings and pho), European inspired alley ways, creativity around every corner and overall just such lovely people. How could you not love Melbourne? My trip coincided with the finals of the Red [...]
