I was lucky enough to visit a pair of stuffed huia the other day and made sure i took my camera along. I visited this couple many years ago and it was probably the last time they came out of their boxes. At the time my camera wasn’t so great, 4MP which was pretty fancy back then. Now i have nice hi-res versions, which means i might have to come up with some new work now.
In the early 90′s i used to ride a fixie around london as a cycle messenger and i had a beat up old track bike that looked like the cheap version to this puppy. i think cycle messengers are responsible for making these bikes the urban choice in cities around the world. might be a while before napier cyclists embrace this aesthetic but i’m feeling it.
thanks to john from Avanti Plus in Hastings for hooking us up.
New print for today based on my love for a style of music i like to call Aotearoa Roots. We have a bit of a tradition with roots music, from the Herbs, Unity Pacific, Twelve Tribes, Che Fu, Katchafire, FFD, Sal’ Dub, Black Seeds, Kora… the list goes on and on. It’s part of who we are and it’s as strong as ever.
edition of 50 and is going for $80.00. hope to get it up on the webstore sooner rather than later.
