A quote that I created for the 'Balloons for the taking' series, which always gets a good reaction. The coolest thing is the story behind this quote. I was helping a good friend with her daughters birthday party, I was on face painting duty. I'd painted a few butterfly faces which seemed to be going well until the birthday girl sat down in front of me. I asked what she'd like. She thought about it, looked me straight in the eye and said "Make my face like Xmas". Brilliant. Wrote the words down immediately. Hands down the best request ever.

How to humble a road sign.

Lost & Profound - Bright Calm City Wallets Project.

Seeding out another Bright Calm City project , which I’ll be tracking over the next six months as it goes out globally. ‘Lost & Profound’ are a series of brightly sequined wallets abandoned in public spaces, complete with cash inside and a little note saying “if found please give to someone who needs it”, email brightcalmcity@gmail.com with an update’.

First dropped the music festival in NZ – Splore - as a test to see how people react. The first passerby picked it up, read the note, smiled, then walked up a hill to give the wallet to a young couple with a baby – bingo! I’ll keep you posted as the idea travels.
