The Koala and I have been busy this last month with the lead up to the Japanese Art Festival. We’ve done all the graphic design for the festival, a 30+ page prospectus for one of the event sponsors and have been working on brand new paintings to exhibit. It has been a real work work work month.

Well, the work has all paid off because the festival starts today.

It’s free and it’s on from today until Sunday so if you’re in Auckland this weekend, come down to Aotea Centre and check it out. Saturday lunch-ish is the best time to go as there will be Taiko drumming and live art.

There will be collection for Japanese earthquake relief and many artists will be donating full or percentage of sales.

The Koala and I will be donating 50% of our sales to the Japanese earthquake relief. So please come!

I leave you with a teaser from my pieces…
