yee ha!

cowboy hats like the boots
reference the 'west'
but really, in design terms -
they are timeless.

parnell street, rawene

i really like the confident use of colour
and the graphic contrast of the stripes
with the soft and fluffy of the hat.
the pendant is two dolphins forming a
heart.

skull king

the rural bumper sticker -
used to ward off distracted oncoming traffic
or a conversation piece debating
metaphysics vs fatalism?

black is the night

Saturday night - Rawene Town Hall
Whirimako Black accompanied by guitarist Nigel Gavin.
An intimate, mesmerising, inspiring & soulful performance.

Sunglasses at night - sometimes make perfect sense.

homage to sofia and cristina

to Sofia for blasting the cobwebs right out of
costume drama - a feminine/ist modern masterpiece
in Marie Antoinette.
to Cristina who is a modern day Marie Antoinette but
doesn't do champagne and more importantly doesn't
lose her head !
Cristina sent in the second picture from Sicily last night.

spring thing

flower petals are the best colour swatches.
with their precise and intense tone
and their sublime shading
available for a limited time only.
both this kowhai and magnolia
confirming spring deliveries are on
schedule this year.
