Just discovered more of the brutalist-inspired art of Kiwi skateboarder Levi Hawken. He has miniature pendant versions of his False Idol sculptures... so cool! I'd love one... #art #brutalism #sculpture #jewellery

Today NZ and Australia commemorate ANZAC day.

Early on April 25th, Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on Gallipoli in 1915 as part of the Allies' invasion

These days it commemorates the contribution and suffering of all those who have served

Been taking my time on my first non-digital coloured city. It's still a WIP but I've been enjoying using neon colours, especially orange. #drawing #art #city #wip #orange

I ended up using a different kind of ink pen half way through, but it didn't notice. #drawing #art #city #cityscape

#Bluesky is pretty nice so far. It has echoes of social media from 12 years ago, in a good way. I wonder how it will navigate rapid growth.

From a notepad when I was travelling, so the lines are a bit more chaotic. I digitally edited it to add colour but I'm hoping to use coloured inks to do a similar thing on black paper. #art #drawing #city #cityscape

Today's ink drawing. In real cities, once tall buildings are now dwarfed by even bigger towers. I wonder if people with megalophobia struggle with the massive skyscrapers they build now? #art #city #cityscape
