Matariki Merch

Inspired by the Māori legend of Earth Mother. Papatuanuku celebrates her six daughters in the heavens and the twinkling eye of all our ancestors who look down on us. Matariki is celebrated during Winter Solstice as a time of renewal and connection of whanau past and present.

A fun illustration of two New Zealand birds reading a book to learn Te Reo. A design to promote the use of the Maori language in NZ / Aotearoa. The birds in this picture are a fantail and a weka, drawn in brown. In the back ground there is a stack of books on topics like Matariki and the Islands of New Zealand.

An illustration of Syme Hut on Fathems Peak, below Mount Taranaki in New Zealand. This is a volcanic mountain summit on the South Island of Aotearoa. A design for anyone who likes Hiking, Tramping and travel in N.Z.

New Zealand is about to spend 27.5 million dollars on two referendums because the Union Jack is so 1990’s. A group of “respected New Zealanders”will sit on a Flag Consideration Panel. These poor sods only get paid $650 per day, better not quote me on that I am too lazy to look it up. Anyway I just knocked this design up, it is a clear winner. I just saved our rock star economy 27 odd million. No more two minute noodles for us.

I love you more than all the stars in the sky
