We bring you Patriotic Illustrations.

We are kicking it off with Greece. Olives, Ouzo, Roman stuff, Feta Cheese & Zeus seemed to be popular.

This is the work of Dimitra Tzanos, some illustration of Greek customs, food and themes.

Luke Bott from Kansas did these illustrations of Zeus & a Greek Warrior.

An exhibition that’s put on every year by Cut Collective and other collaborating artists.

This year it is in the silo 6 pack in Wynard Quarter on Auckland’s waterfront. It was a balmy night, great crew, cold beer, hot pizza… and a show that was so worth heading out to see.

If you’re not familiar with the area, the silo’s are in the old tank farm, next to docked super yachts and flash new bars. Each silo has an instillation, from fine art prints, painted crates, music videos being projected onto old machinery, interactive mirror light show, lasers and sound activated lights….

When inside, you forget you’re on Auckland’s waterfront. We suggest you go at night to get the best out of the show.

It’s on until the 13th of April. To top it off, Shake & Bake is on tomorrow at the same spot (Sat 7th April, 12pm – 6pm). Live painting, live music, all thanks to Basefm.

Here are a few snaps taken by Jason Hailes. This was Flox’s first solo show and we were blown away by the work, especially the large hand cut white stencils and works on wood.

The exhibition is in time with the release of the Fly My Pretties IV CD and DVD that Flox did the artwork for. There is also a room to chill and have a beer while watching the new the DVD.

It is on all week and open until 6pm at 155 K road (just next to Verona). Go there have a drink and you may even bump into Hayley herself. This is also a seriously good chance to own a Flox one off or a very low edition piece.

We have a hand-picked selection of limited edition prints by Flox.

Unlike an art gallery, the smell here lingers between urine and fresh paint. And the art, as a result, is not like what you would find hanging on clean fresh walls. There is every kind of style and subject you can imagine, mish mashed, side by side, covering every nook and cranny. This is just a snippet of the walls we saw…

Both A3, brown and framed in black. They looked so damn good we just had to take a quick snap before they departed the building. We also think they look better in pairs. If you bought them, send us a snap when they hung on your wall, we would be keen to share with everyone how they look!

Normally $78.95 each, but because of the current summer sale, these are only  $132 including NZ shipping for both!
