Graphic designed around a painting.  Thoreau has some relevance here:

“I have an appointment with spring.  She comes to the window to wake me, and I go forth an hour or two earlier than usual.”

Henry D Thoreau

An Internet surfing dragon settles himself for a night’s sleep – mouse in hand.

I painted this as an ACEO about 4  years ago.  The idea was derived from the official T shirt design I made for the first International Gondwanaland Symposium, held at Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand in 1979.  That was black and white line art, and the dragon was holding a geology pick in his hand.

Just had to embed one of my favorite video clips of all time, featuring the TVNZ Kiwi and his cat:

This was an animated short used to signal the end of the broadcast day on Television New Zealand channels, before they went 24hrs. It aired from 1980/81 till October 19 1994. It is a classic.

The song playing is an instrumental arrangement of a traditional Māori song,”Hine e Hine” composed by Fannie Rose Howie (1868-1916) in 1905.

A must-watch. Enjoy this video!!
