Other projects

 Ripleys believe it or not? ran a story about a series of paintings I created called "Ouija spins". I attached a fidget spinner to a ouija board and then spun paint onto records. The result was then embellished with oil paints to bring out the beginnings of creatures. The story can be viewed here:

They later used the Ouija Spin paintings in their "Odd is art" book. Which can be seen here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1116559/ripley_s-odd-is-art/9781784759698.html

"Dark art tarot" I did the knight of staves card for this kickstarter project in 2018. 
"78 Tarot - Elemental deck" - I contributed the "Hanged man" card for this Tarot set in 2019, also funded through kickstarter (printing later this year). https://www.78tarot.cards/shop/pre-order-78-tarot-elemental
I'm also taking part in 78 Tarots next deck which will have a conservation theme. Expected for a 2020 release.

Art Collectives

2015 - 2016  Kapiti Underground Arts - This was a short lived collective that I started in 2015 as a way of bringing more diversity of styles and artists shown on the Kapiti Coast. We had 2 exhibitions in 2015 at Valve studio, 123 Kapiti rd. When our venue closed the group kind of fizzled out. It was at this point I decided to push for gaining more international success. 

2018 - present - Strange Dreams Surreal Art Collective - This is an international group of around 20 artists that do physical gallery shows but as of late have started focusing more on online auctions.  http://www.strangedreamsart.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/StrangeDreamsSurrealArtCollective/

Social media

I use social media for sharing finished work and sometimes showing work in progress shots.
