Dittybox Gallery has cast off, to amass more loot n' booty.

Dittybox, street-shop Version 1.0, is now closed for business. See you in the new year on the WORLD-WIDE-WEBSTERNET! New website, online shop, and commissioning services coming soon. In the meantime, contact me at gavin@dittybox.co.nz for any questions/enquiries.

For various reasons, all positive, Dittybox will be closing in the new year. That's the physical gallery, not the online presence. To celebrate the closing, I'm having an opening. New paintings, some old ones too, new prints, and a new Wellington map...

New mural, Nose2Tail Doggy Daycare

Godzilla's fungal infection

I haven't seen the new film yet, but saw a pudgy Godzilla doodle done by Greg Broadmore, and decided to do my own version. I figure those protruding growths are ascospores from a Cordyceps fungus, which invades a host's body and takes over it's tissue and brain. So really this is a fungus invading a port city, using Godzilla as a host vehicle. I'm guessing that is not what the film is about, but I have no idea. I'll find out this weekend.
