Kiwi Bird

If New Zealand had its own version of Godzilla, I imagine he'd look something like this. All jokes aside, this country is at the very top of my bucket-list to visit. I'd love to explore all the culture, grand landscapes, and exotic nature which this nation has to offer (I'm also a fan of such bands/musicians as The Chills, Lorde, the Verlaines, and the Clean). When contemplating a subject for this map, I felt this unique national bird felt like the proper tribute. My next-door  neighbor (who's from Australia) once mentioned that the nickname for New Zealanders is "kiwis", and that put a cherry on top of this theme.

Aldous Harding

This singer-songwriter from New Zealand makes the most enchanting music. I drew this portrait solely while listening to her new album, Warm Chris. Her lyrics are so cryptically beautiful, you're compelled to keep listening in order to decipher them.

Māori Woman

No doubt, the number one priority on my bucket list is to visit New Zealand one day. In tribute to the indigenous people of this beautiful island, here's a portrait of a Māori woman.
