Here's some finals shots from my recent wall in Hawaii - have a read below :)
“You Are What You Eat” by supporting ARTivist Cracked Ink (New Zealand) for PangeaSeed Foundation latest edition of our international public art program, @seawalls_ Artists for oceans.
.Location: Wailuku, Maui | Mauka to Makai
.My piece depicts a world that has left behind nothing but trash, if we don’t change the Way we consume, it’s going to have a devastating effect on our sea life. Over the last few years whales have been found to have massive amounts of plastic bags, wrappers fishing hooks, bottles and nets found in their stomachs.
.Plastic pollution is a growing threat to whales and dolphins as well as seabirds and other marine creatures. Fifty-six percent of all whale and dolphin species, from small fish-eating dolphins to the largest filter feeding whales, have been recorded eating marine plastics they’ve mistaken for food.
.The phrase “You Are What You Eat” means that it is important to eat good food in order to be healthy and fit, well if we continue polluting our oceans at the rate we are, the life that calls the oceans home will no longer exist.”

Here's my final price for seawalls in Gisborne - "End of the Century" by supporting ARTivist @crackedink (England) for @pangeaseed Foundation latest edition of our international public art movement, @seawalls_ Artists for Oceans.
.
Location: Gisborne, New Zealand
.
.
Artist statement: "One fifth of the world population could be displaced by rising sea levels by the end of the century. The reality is we are going to have more people fighting for space on a smaller landmass if we do not act on climate change now.
.
If we do not educate individuals and communities to change consumption habits, the results are going to be catastrophic.
.
My mural is an image that is very simple to translate. The two main characters and the city under water watch massive balloons of CO2 being released into the atmosphere to represent the greenhouse gas emissions from industry and transpiration."

Here's the finished sections of my wall for the latest PangeaSeed Foundation mural for Seawalls Australia in Cairns called "Get To Know' -
A 28 metre long wall ,my mural encapsulates multiple different ocean matters including over fishing, plastic pollution, deep sea oil drilling , rising sea levels and many more different facts / questions and solutions along side of my illustration, i really wanted to focus on showing how many different problems we are facing at the moment in our oceans which all adds up into one gigantic problem. The main task we have ahead is educating and changing humans attitudes towards all of these issues. If we can get that right there is hope for all creatures and life in the ocean and planet earth.
Really Excited to be flying out to Cairns Tomorrow For Seawalls , watch this space for updates

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.
