Super stoked to show you My Latest Piece i finished up in Mexico Recently
"The Unsung Hero" by supporting ARTivist Si Omer (United Kingdom) for PangeaSeed Foundation Foundation's latest edition of our international public art program, @seawalls_ Artists for Oceans in partnership with Proyecto Panorama
Location: Cozumel, Mexico | 20.4230° N, 86.9223° W
.Mural theme: Mangrove Conservation
.Artist statement: “The mangroves off the coast off Cozumel provide invaluable stabilization of the sediment to help prevent erosion on the coastlines. They also serve as critical nursery habitat for many species of fish, mollusks, crustaceans. Beyond providing shelter for threatened and endangered species, my piece pays respect to the amazing contribution that the mangroves tirelessly make every day to protect the coastline of Mexico and its inhabitants.
.The main character represents the mangrove as a soft astute figure that stands strong for all walks of life, feeding, purifying and keeping its comrades safe and sound. My work highlights the importance of keeping these trees rather than harvesting them to make way for construction and development in places like Cozumel for hotels and bars. The preservation of mangroves is imperative for our oceans and coastlines in Cozumel and across the globe."

.Gracias to México Bien Hecho for sponsoring all of our acrylic paint and materials for Sea Walls Cozumel.

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.
