My portrayal of Nike is slightly more conceptual than most of the pieces in this series will be. The reasoning behind this is due to the fact that Nike is well known, her image is everywhere and I wanted to take a different tack. I wanted to go to the concept behind her myth rather than…
I really approve of New Zealand Prime Minister John Key’s reaction to his Daughter’s photoshoot. He sent her to one of the best art schools in the world, the Paris College of Art, and is then thrilled to see that she is using her tuition to create the art she wants to create.

The mosaic had been removed by the time the program was rerun the following day but not before the cover-up had caused some anger online. “The statue…
2011 was a massive mix of highs and lows for me. I don’t want to dwell on the lows, 2012 is about moving forward and building on my successes of the past year. I hope, wherever you are, that you will take a moment to farewell the bad points of 2011 and happily remember the…
