To many highlites....the word Tom preached on...soaking Chad and Jackie with water...yelling at the boys to sleep at 2.30am....Koloa getting upset at his own team...cruising down in the LOrolla....and the KIWIS world champs!!

When the family grows....

Pecha Kucha 08.....

2008-11-11T11:45:00.000-08:00

YO YO...I am part of this event, so come along...

A Pecha Kucha night is an event format in which presenters show a slideshow of 20 images, each of which is shown for 20 seconds — giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds. Each event usually has 8 - 14 presenters. Presenters (and much of the audience) are usually from the design, architecture, photography, art and creative fields.

The event format has been replicated in more than 140 cities, including London, San Francisco, Seattle, Rotterdam, Shanghai and Berlin. Events usually are limited to one each month per city and a minimum of four events per year.

Pecha Kucha is for CONTENT and not profit.

2008-11-06T02:14:00.000-08:00

After crap Auckland weather (whats new) we finished this wall. Alot of colour on a cloudy day. Good to have our American friends down here, had a great time. SICK WID IT!

Omaru pt 2....

2008-11-06T02:06:00.000-08:00

Pretty buildings and here a pretty one we call a church, if we look at what the bible refers to as the church, it is not a building, it is actually the people....
And the sign was for Ground Zero, the youth Centre my homies run,something colourful and readable.
Loved it down there.

Omaru pt 1....

2008-10-30T03:38:00.000-07:00

Went down to Omaru, and had a great time...I got to meet the famous Eugene and Esther Dupu, world famous on the streets.
They run main street youth and much more, I was so blessed to have stayed with my euro family...to wake up to the calves talking and painting my little heart out down there....beautiful place and look forward to returning.
Big ups to Pauly aka 'okay'

A man of many talents, my friend Salt aka salty aka salter.
Had a relaxed paint, kept it simple and effective.
Christ will return soon.....Are you ready?

End of the great empire...

2008-10-13T13:33:00.001-07:00

With the economic crisis going in the world, this wall had to be done.
With the fall of the American empire and its hold on the financial markets, the Bible tells of the things to come, the power of finance will go to the European Union ( the re formed roman empire)...and so on.
Im watching and waiting to see the full effects on the world, right down to the joe blog in each city....time will tell.

It was a great day painting, beautiful weather, and always good to paint with Askew, this guy is the man, and not just for his skills...
Without him and his input into the NZ graff scene, it would be stink...Hes paid dues and then some!
NZ's finest yall!

Lord have mercy"....

2008-10-09T01:09:00.001-07:00

2008-10-03T21:15:00.000-07:00

Sunday afternoon....

2008-09-30T01:25:00.001-07:00

2008-09-18T19:03:00.000-07:00

Took it indoors on a rainy Auckland day...Tried a bit more busy piece, had fun with Phat1 and Mark....And yes I had to change the outline on one letter, haha go the trends. (but the fill remained the same)
In the bible it talks about the sweet name of Jesus (Yeshua)...its a powerful name, one thats debated on all over the world. A name that is very close to me.

On the road again....

2008-09-16T16:54:00.000-07:00

Now being back...and still coming to terms with it..haha
A team from Faith City went down on the weekend to Kawerau aka KTOWN...we went to minister to a local churc and to the community, it was mean mate...they had a yearly festival on and alot of people were in town...including our friends the Mungrel Mob.
They also had a parade for Sarah Wilson who just lost the bronze at the Olympics for BMX, the town love her.

Ive never seen so much red been worn in one place...The arts society had a art show and included 2 guest artist, myself and Mark Spijkerbosch...Hes a awesome artist, you pass one of his walls on State hi way 1 at paraparaumu.

Anyway, good times, its great to do the Lords work, met great people and had heaps of fun with the ol skoolers..

More than just a photo....

2008-09-01T23:31:00.000-07:00

Ive had a great journey, the Lord has been with me the whole time, taught me stuff too...and brought great people across my path...

Introducing Larry above^^ I took off one day in San Fran to get some shots, i was taking one photo of a roof top blocky and then heard a voice say "how about me" I said ok and took some shots of Larry with his lotto ticket...
Hes 59 and been on the streets for 25 years, his eyes were thick yellow...it broke me to see a man like that, he said he would seek help one day......I hope

As seen on....

2008-09-01T23:26:00.000-07:00

"Nace" by Rime, Cristo Saves

Adios Mexico...

2008-08-23T22:11:00.000-07:00

Its so hard to say goodbye to yester.... oops wondered back to the nineties.
Had a wonderful time in Rosarito.....
In San Diego, and went out to Palm Springs for a Pastors meeting (i tagged along)
Its nuts, 2 hours inland from San Diego, in the desert...43 deg. and they said lucky it wasnt a hot day...AYE?
Its a giant oasis for the rich, like Beverly Hills in the desert.

And the next day did a piece in san Diego, good to bust out, good to paint the name above all names...Jesus the way, truth and life!

Whistle while you work....

2008-08-22T19:23:00.001-07:00

Now this photo is a questionable one, no one remembers Tosh digging, just painting indoors...hmmm

The team went down to Ensenada for the day,we helped out the Calvary Chapel Bible school that was due to open, we did primering and digging in the gangsta heap, had a good time....then went for fish and shrimp tacos!!

Man i feel wasted.....

2008-08-22T19:17:00.000-07:00

This how Ive felt the last few days, heres Eric busted sleeping on the way to a outreach.

La cancha, la cancha.....

2008-08-20T22:48:00.000-07:00

La cancha is the soccor/sports area...mate ive said that alot, you go round letting the locals know your gonna put the outreach on.The team went on this one, they had a great time, and a good response, Praise God, its cool just to love on the kids.

...oh and their acting the prodigal son out.

La Konexion...odale

2008-08-20T22:38:00.000-07:00

Dios te bendiga

Mexico, Tally ho.....

2008-08-18T23:54:00.000-07:00

After having a great time in the bay area, enjoying the trips on the cal train and the BART, it was time to get ready to head south, we left from Mountain View Calvary Chapel, waved goodbye to San Jose.

The first day we arrived we went to a orphanage in the next town from Rosarito called La Gloria, this was a eye opener, kids that didnt have the luxuries we have and still a smile on thier faces, alot of them just wanted to play and be held...oh and have their face painted...we got to be a blessing and we also were very blessed.

A quick something...

2008-08-15T17:26:00.000-07:00

I did "Armor of God" at the top,.... bro! that schafolding (spelling?) was so scary

Tender Loin 6th Street...

2008-08-15T17:15:00.001-07:00

Man i never thought a city in USA could have such a sad area right i the CBD, i know these places exist,but when your a boy from down down under its a shock to the system....Tender Loin is worse than Skid Row in LA.
Its very sad to see homlessness and hopelessness, drug addicts, crazy poeple up and down the streets...BUT there people that have a heart to reach them and help them, and not just once, but daily....like my boy CAMER1 and his wonderful family.

GG crew stayed for a week, painted there church/youth centre and had a great time, the Lord really blessed me, getting to know the new guys more was cool.

And on I go...

2008-08-06T01:25:00.001-07:00

Up in San Jose, hooked up with my brother in Christ ToshONER, went to Santa Cruz for the day, blessed to be here, and to have chances to share the love of Christ.

Well, what can I say, its used as a swear word, it brings offence to many, it makes people go quiet..... BUT What a beautiful name it is, through the good news of His life is salvation, is healing from brokeness, from sickness, is joy...and acceptance by the Father.
