No Money, No Honey

A1 Print.

The love birds are reminiscent of a tattoo I got for my parents. My mums a sweetheart. Loves girl math; cost per wear and telling my dad how much money she’s saved on her latest purchase. Compared to my dad who is the quiet, hard working type; loves a good late night TradeMe search and a ciggie. I’ll be honest, I'm envious of them, and despite not expressing it enough, I love them so much.

Majority of my pieces feature an emoji. These reflect how I’m feeling at the time, and usually I paint these last… to put a bow on it. 

Here, it’s a flirting emote. The birds, skeleton and Elvis (The King of  flirting  Rock and Roll) are all dancing with life (the sacred heart). I wouldn’t say I flirt with life but to those that know me would say I'm cheeky and full of life. If I had to pick a character or person to represent my life I’d Peter Pan, and I’ll never get old and I think that doubles as probably my biggest fear in getting old. I see this as a strength and like to think I get the most out of life with this attitude.
