Memoirs of Fielding

just been on a lovely trip down to the Manawatu, there was a lot of rainfall causing the charming scenery to take a bit of a battering.
nonetheless many fine sights to be enjoyed

ride out

the things we do ay. here's a couple of comissioned jobs i've done recently. i actually went out and did a lovely bombing the other nite, man its been a while, good fun! will post flick when i get it.
this one is client confidential so wait til u see it on tv lol
off to Fielding tomorrow in the new ride... looking forward more to south island tour next month. will have to check which of my old pieces have been reduced to rubble down in crumbletown.

shouts out to the TMD fam, my actual fam and all the shaky isle massive holding it together down there now hiding under tables and under curfew!

too busy to blog?

damn what a slack guy. Actually busy guy! I have flicks to post from various painting jobs, but on a more musical note, me n Flex are on the airwaves every saturday 10am-midday on Radio Ponsonby.
Its only local broadcast so if you don't live in the cool area of the city (UPTOWN!!) you can listen to it streaming live on the site.

Flex is outta town this weekend so i'll be holding it down, yeeha! Last saturday was awesome, from Blues and Soul to Baltimore and UK funky, its an eclectic crate-diggin' adventure ;)

good things come on shipping pallets

you may remember back in the misty early days of this blog, we won a graffiti battle... well guess what, 2 years later our prize finally arrived! Elliot seen here caressing a can of "Loomi'ts Aubergine"

i just got back from a blustery week in Windytown. behold the pictures i painted, starting with this canvas for my friends the Buckleys:

fat cap power! Spent the week painting more Hell's Pizza stores, even a detour to Palmy.

sport is important

here's a lil' doodad i painted on a big billboard in support of the NZ commonwealth games team. its goin around the country for people to sign. Go the colonies!

brontosaurus in the mist

Here's a wall i did yesterday (about 2 x 3 m) in my mate Dave's studio... mean fun


spent ages on all the little details... such as this lil' fella:

Samoan Pyramid?!

no shit!

Ok, i know there's pyramids in Egypt, Central and South America... and even in China... and comparabile mounds throughout Europe.

But Polynesia? I didn't know any Polynesian peoples made structures of stone (except Easter Islanders). I guess this is interesting to me because Pyramids are pretty much everywhere, built round the same time by cultures that apparently weren't in contact with each other and didn't have large earth moving technology.

Convential archeology says that they are burial mounds or tombs. or astrological observation platforms. could be right... the star-gazing Polynesians had the most advanced knowledge of navigation of any ancient people. real talk.

I know so many people that have been to Samoa but never heard any one mention a Pyramid.

well this ain't a theory, its a fact, check it out:
on wikipedia

or there's a great article here

the white man brought huge change to the islanders, and i think its tragic how their traditional religions and their knowledge of the world is unrecorded and now all but gone forever. Like the Central and South American Cultures. The biggest Pyramid in the world is in Mexico and 90% of it is unexcavated... because the murderous Conquistadores built a Catholic Church on it which is now considered a national monument that can't be moved. I have almost finished reading the whole Bible and i still can't understand how Christian ideology led to centuries of oppression, genocide, supression of science and culture.. don't get me started!
