Two more limited-edition Banksy artworks offered for sale

Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Hi neighbours, two paintings by street artist Banksy are up for auction in Auckland, following the successful sale of three of his other works.
Five weeks after the trio of paintings fetched $138,000, two more prints, Jack and Jill (Police Kids) and Soup Can, will be offered at the International Art Centre in Parnell on August 11. The International Art Centre said it expected Jack and Jill to go for up to $35,000, while Soup Can was expected to bring up to $50,000.

Would you ever pay that much for art?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
