New Kiwi Dreams

New Kiwi Dreams

Last night I struck some archival GOLD (did you see what I did there? Eh, eh? Lol). An online library of New Zealand music magazine, Rip It Up. I have seen the odd issue on sale on eBay but never took the plunge. A mix of the financial cost of getting music mags sent over…

WIP – TLBT

I’ve given the new canvas another layer today because I could still see the bare canvas coming through after yesterday’s prep. In my head with this painting, I see several things happening.
