Unique Christmas cards from local artist
Hi everyone
As you all know I am the artist on the corner of Mackenzie and Hopkins in gallery@109. Last year, and part of this I had a big show of 50 works titled 'Somme/Silk Road' on exhibition at the QEII National Army Museum in Waiouru. I then created a further suite of works using the same inspiration (the silk cards made during WW1 in France and Belgium) which I titled 'We'll be home by Christmas'. I turned two of those cards into printed Christmas cards (see images below) which I sold last Christmas and am again selling packs of 12 (6 of each, although I can make up packs of only one image should you like) of these from the studio and also from Aum Dairy on Hopkins Street.
So for $15 (GST incl) a pack you get 12 unique Christmas cards and envelopes. All in time for your Christmas mail out.
Created here in Woolston/Roimata, please support your community and your local artist.
You can email me through here or txt me on 027 2748158 to reserve some for later pick up.
I am open most weekends from 2-4pm and have a new hang of works leading up to Christmas, so call in and have a look at what's being created locally. I also have a 10% down and nine months to pay system in place.
Cheers
David Woodings

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.
“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
