Kau Ngaue Ofa

My photographs from the last coronation printed on canvas and woven into traditional mats by a local weaver, to create cross cultural multi-discipline piece that blends the new and old with a pixelated look that is artisanally reproduced using a millennia old traditions.

Toni From Tonga

toni was the first true HUMAN BEING that i ever met. His face has always intrigued me, i have been painting, drawing, photoshopping his image into variations of street art. i began pasting his face up around the world, so far, paris, baltimore, chicago, with traditional black and white reproductions, color sketches and color reproductions combined with wall paper. This is an on going work.
