Lounge Ceiling
Biggest job done so far in my 35 year career.
This took 6 full days to change an all one colour lounge room (walls and high pitched ceiling, 4 metres high) to this.
Firstly, I woodgrained the entire ceiling, then painted the hole to show the sky, then the Concorde flying,then the portrait of "Inspector Morse" investigating from the roof.
The cable going the the light fitting was next and lastly, the smoking and charred flue exit. Original lounge pics at bottom of page....

T.V. Rotorua Newsdesk Backdrop
T.V. Rotorua commissioned me to airbrush this 8 metre x 2.4 metre sunset over Rotorua backdrop on the existing blank wall behind the newsdesk.
It was several days work but the result has been a lot of positive feedback and now every programme recorded / shown has my artwork behind it....

Stage Backdrop for a Blues Festival
The Rotorua Bluesfeast is an annual summer event in Rotorua NZ, which incorporates an 8 hours blues concert and a food beer and wine festival
The organising committee commisioned me to produce a themed backdrop, so I had a 7 metre long canvas made and airbrushed a brick wall with a blues concert happening inside, viewed through a " window"
Being a Musician, I wanted to introduce a little humour and education so I did the appropriate Graffiti on the wall...

Mark and Penny's New Baby's Bedroom
Mark and Penny wanted to welcome their new little man into a bright and wonderful world, decided to make the room full of life, what a way to go!!
The biggest problem was choosing which characters not to use- there were heaps left out!
The ceiling is a full night sky with stars and comets etc
A very satisfying commission and a lot of fun...

Ross's Surfboard
Rossco had almost finished making his own surfboard and wanted it to look different with an "ugly" fish (a hapuka) on top, with a greenish water look around the edges, and we went for an old Rimu "dunny" door look on the bottom.
I enjoy getting the real wood look with my "woodgraining technique" and can achieve accurate reproduction of most woods.
Board was etch primed, primer filled, base colours, artwork, all in Spies Hecker Product
These pics taken before final resin coat...
