As an early Gen-Xer, I look on bemusedly at the complaints from boomers about millennials' obsession with their own image and the ubiquitous selfie. But the selfie is not a modern concept - many great artists have used themselves as a muse - think Frida Kahlo, Rita Angus, Rembrandt, Cindy Sherman... - and this exuberantly talented young kākā is no exception. 


Two variations are available depending on how you wish to see it framed. If you're not sure, choose the white margin signed underneath. The extended version allows you to frame with no mat and no white margin, without losing any of the picture.


10% of the artist's proceeds go to Zealandia EcoSanctuary to support their conservation efforts.

​Free shipping worldwide. Price includes 15% GST for New Zealand sales.


An 80cm print in an edition of 3 is also available on request.

In my "Flights of fancy", imagination takes over and roles are reversed - what would the curious and intelligent kākā parrots do in post-human and post-apocalyptic worlds? With steampunk elements and leftover human detritous, our courageous and curious kākā explore and adapt to their new world.
