Ye Olde Imagery Menagerie, closed for business

Though the gallery closed on xmas eve, I've officially ended the lease and shipped out. A few parting shots. It's been great having a public space to show my tack, and talk crap. Now it's time to knuckle down on full time freelance and dig out some long forgotten personal projects (and get my weekends back after three years). I'm sure there'll be a Dittybox shop V.02 at some point in the near future, but for now I'm displaying recent paintings at Floyds cafe, 130 The Parade, Island Bay, Wellington. Prints, tea towels, paintings etc will also soon be available via a relaunched website at dittybox.co.nz. for commissions, I'm still available via gavin@dittybox.co.nz

 

For various reasons, all positive, Dittybox will be closing in the new year. That's the physical gallery, not the online presence. To celebrate the closing, I'm having an opening. New paintings, some old ones too, new prints, and a new Wellington map...

Two words... Dinosaurs and Pirates.

A stormy sea, some pirates, and their T-Rex captive in tow. This one's a wee mini painting. Mug-coaster size. Click to see the yellows of his eyes. "Monstrous Booty"

The following two are bigger. Same size as a plate-placemat. 

"Eat, Prey, Love, and Dinosaurs"

"Who Lives In A Pirate Ship, Under The Sea?"

Tea towels sold out, made more, sold out, now more again...

This batch is a big one, so should last a good while. Thanks to the fantastic Thomas The Screenprinter at Workshy in lovely Shelley Bay.
In store, come get one. I'll throw in the cute ribbon gratis.
