Big companies are jumping on “ART” as the new cool by inviting design submissions. Nike did it, Vans are doing it and so are Dr Martins. So get out your pens and pencils (or photoshop on your mac of course) and start designing. Would be cool if someone from New Zealand won. Its Aussies vs Kiwi’s on this one.
Check out our “Kiwi Boot” below.
This was spotted by Kate on a trip to Lyttelton, Christchurch. If this monster cardboard robot is yours….nice work and keep it up. Hopefully this inspires you all to look at and use cardboard differently.

Spotted recently in Mangarakau, at the southern end of the Whanganui Inlet. A Trophy worth winning. The thought of having this on top of my fridge would focus my mind on winning at Pool, Darts, Bowls and Table Tennis.
