So I don’t smoke, but I seem to have been painting a lot of girls lately who do… Let’s face it, those anti-smoking ads lie; yes, it may ruin your lungs, but it totally does increase your coolness levels by at least 10%. We can pretend it’s a Spaceman candy stick if it makes you feel better…

Although the format of this work is reminiscent of a religious icon or votive painting, obviously Miss Flamingo of the Ink is not your average Virgin Mary. Tattoos, cigarette smoke and fairy lights stand in for the more traditional devotional trappings of stained glass, incense and candles, and fashion-wise, a black bandana is the new blue mantle, with roses replacing any thorns as her crown.

Speaking of crowns, I reckon this lass and my girl from ‘Queen of the Crown’ would get on marvellously over a few beers; to continue the awesome Dunedin drinking places theme, perhaps she can be the patron Saint of Alley Cantina?

All my works are printed on Epson Watercolour art paper using archival quality inks - and of course the watermark you see onscreen does not appear on the print itself.

Your print will be unframed, packaged in a cardboard mailing tube and sent via Fastway Couriers, which takes 1-3 days for delivery. I'll mail the package within 3 working days of your payment clearing.

If you'd like to purchase more than one print at a time, not only will you make me extra happy, but you won't pay any extra shipping costs - it's all free within New Zealand. Woop woop!
