End of the year

Well, another year is coming to an end. I trust everyone survived the Christmas carnage of over-eating, gift giving and general festive debauchery.

This blog has come a long way since the first set of photos were uploaded, but I still feel it could progress more and hopefully the new year will bring about change and the progression that I'm looking for. I have a trick or two up my sleeve and with the help of a few good friends we'll get there in the end. Wish me luck!

Thank you to the well wishers, the haters, the lovers, the photo submissions, the friends Ive made along the way, Mark and Bell, Dave and Xoe @ Manky Chops Gallery, Eek and Tash'iqua, Gypsy, them pesky Pirates and those known for Fucking Shit Up, and everyone else that has stumbled across this blog and pimped it shamelessly.

Last of all, Thank you to A Lee for putting up with my obsessive behaviour and following me around while I stare at walls.

See y'all next year!

Moa Point

.... Just a bit of self promo bullshit

... but isn't that what putting your name up is about, self promotion?

... or do we all want to remain anonymous?

Who Knows.

Apologies for the delay in posting this week. I was waiting to help paint Echo's birthday wall before anything went up. When I get my next day off I'll process all the photos Ive gathered recently and get them up.

Coming up ....

A few before and afters.

Sole - Phonic

After a year's hiatus from Manky Chops, Sole returns to serve up a tribute to the old school masters of Soul, Funk, Reggae, Dub, and all that classic goodness. Under the guise of 'Sole-Phonic', he launches a new extension to his alias, blending his passion for both music and art. This latest body of work is inspired by the forefathers & mothers of our modern music culture, and the record cover artworks that accompanied their vinyl 12" & 7" inch records. From the soulful depths of Nina Simone & Al Green, the funky grooves of James Brown & Michael Jackson, and the irie vibes of Bob Marley & Lee Scratch Perry.

Sole-Phonic: A Tribute to the Classics
Manky Chops Gallery, Level 1, 166 Cuba St., Wellington
Opening Night: Thursday, 20th August 2009
runs til Saturday 28th August

I saw this stencil on the pillar at the entrance of LeftBank. Someone in Wellington must be a fan of Meek, a stencil artist from Melbourne (unless Meek has been here and Im too dumb to know lol)

Although you can't see it in the photo the white square says' Keep your coins, I want change"

..........

I stumbled upon Drypnz Editor and Pntr painting an old wall when I was supposed to be be getting some lunch, I milled around for a bit and went back to visit halfway through then got some finished shots. Damn those parked cars in the way!!
