I am currently away on an epic journey to Samoa and Fiji aboard Te Matau a Maui voyaging waka. Due to no access to internet and data I have closed my online store until my return at the end of October 2026. Apologies for any inconvenience. If you are in Hawke's Bay my items can be purchased from The Department of Curiosities and Fine Things in Napier.

“I bought this painting for $227 and now it is worth so much more”

Size: 470 x 560mm

Price: $227

Nothing is worth anything without demand.

For those with wealth and corporations, art is an investment. So the perception that the artwork will have a higher future appraisal raises the value of the artwork.

Painting measures 470 x 560mm and is a second-hand print that I have adorned with my own style and humour. Paintings and frames are in second-hand condition so may have marks or dents but are generally in good condition and ready to hang.

Since 2012 I have been adding my own spin on those old op-shop prints that no one wants. I see it as re-interpreting a scene that someone else has setup, telling the punch-line to a joke, giving a tired print a new lease of life. Many of the paintings can also be purchased as prints.
