Walkerillo @ Baobab Cafe

Walkerillo is at Baobab for this lovely Spring month. New work in colourful splashes and sprays. Some angry foliage fists, a self portrait, Black Eyed Suzy and more.  Get on down there if you are in the hood of  Newtown, Wellington.

Painted up a new logo this week for the stylish Phillipa Cowdrey and her handmade textile/jewellery/screenprinting/wallet business. Shes all about the feather and leatherwork . Check her out here :   MISS PHILLY TEXTILES

Miss philly draft sketches

I thought the draft sketches were quite amusing too.

Black Eyed Suzy amongst black eyed suzies.

This ones got an aged feel, kinda like old wallpaper. Its a stencil of my Mum amidst her namesake flowers, but it seems to be heading towards Creepy ! I think she wants to steal your soul.Or ask for help gardening. Or something else…

This ones for my exhibition at Baobab in Newtown next month .  Watercolour and Spraypaint as usual  !

Twitterillo

Made a wee custom twitter bird today. We shall call him Twitterillo. He has a temper.

Wykes Boys

Just finished a double portrait commission  of two handsome brothers Glen and Sam Wykes.

I think it’s my best painting of  Humans yet ! I always used to avoid drawing figures and faces, but practice and watercolour books from the library have hooked me up.  Always really difficult to capture the personality and exact look of the subject though, even if you measure out the proportions, something eludes you.

Whose next ?
