As humans , it's imperative that we stop polluting and over-fishing the oceans. We need to sustain the health of the ocean so that we that we can sustainabley use the resources that need to be respected and protected before it's too late. Enjoy :)

So After 4 and half days painting the biggest wall I've ever done in Central Taupo for Graffiato Street Art Festival.nearly 60 hours painting 24 metres long a total of 125 square metre's, i'm all done. This wall was a beast ! A massive thanks to all the crew who supplied us with food Drinks accommodation and especially my 2 crew members Jessica McLeod and Zoe Aniwaniwa who helped me , hassled me and generally were just awesome with heaps of prep work, organic tea :), atrocious music lol, among-st many other things. When i paint a new wall, i always go with the intention of doing the best wall i've ever done , i think i can say mission accomplished , enjoy the pics :) and if your ever in Taupo go for a look, also rad hanging out with a bunch of talented other artists Xoë Hall Gina Kiel Sean Duffell Jacob Chrisohoou Still Mica Tane Lawless Poi Ngawati you all did an amazing job of your walls :)
My name is Simon otherwise known as Cracked Ink, I’m an artist from the Uk, I’ve been painting for over 14 years, I studied graphic design at Uni, and quickly got involved with the right crowd. Painting and basically getting up to mischief, quickly became huge part of my everyday life. I like to think I have continued on this journey by continually pushing, evolving my style and trying to perfect the skills of painting and creating in many mediums, predominantly painting with aerosols. Myself and my work has evolved drastically in the 8 years I have lived in New Zealand. I have met many like-minded people who do what I do because we love it, this is my passion, and a big part of my life. My work is predominantly quirky, bold characters which portray an array of emotions, expressions and general attitude that I get from everyday observations.
