    Cat painting

    This is a picture I painted of my cat Bianca, who died in 2023. I’d always wanted to try painting something photorealistic. Now I’ve done it and I never want to paint something photorealistic ever again. I wrote about the painting (and the cat) at some length, here. The painting took me about six years to finish, and the story is a weird mixture of how determined I can be to see something through while simultaneously not doing a goddamn thing to actually make progress. And yet, here she is.

    Bored Ape Painting Club

    I’m not a developer and yet I keep running into things that need development, and yet I have no money to pay developers. It’s all very annoying. When I started work the wildly over-engineered Bird Hat Grift Club I found that rare thing, a dev who was happy to accept payment in painting form. So I painted a Bored Ape for him.

    I haven’t made prints of this but if you want one for some reason, email me.

    Luxon saga

    I painted a picture of the New Zealand Prime Minister and tried to sell it on TradeMe. A few days before the auction ended it got banned. This caused a mini-Streisand and the painting got a lot of attention. I censored it and listed it on TradeMe again. This time it sold successfully. Together, the new owners and I collaborated to do a live gallery unveiling where I also uncensored the painting, restoring its original glorious form.

    I didn’t make prints of this because I didn’t feel the world needed more of this painting in it. In the unlikely event that you want one, email me.
