That's Me!

Posted
John Corney featured artist at Imagekind.comBy time you get this my 24 hours of fame could well have passed, but I just go an email from someone through Imagekind.com alerting me to the fact that I am one of the two featured artists for the day! How exciting is that!

Just in case you miss it and think I was fibbing, I've included a snapshot of the homepage before I retreat back into oblivion! Ha ha!

I recently took some prints I got done by Imagekind home to New Zealand as gifts for friends and family and the quality of the prints is phenomenal. I lashed out a bit and got the prints done on the "photo rag" they offer and it is really worth it. Another cool thing was that I went to the framers with a couple of the people I gave prints to and on both occasions other people in the stores were ecstatic over my work and in one case the framer asked to buy a limited edition series of the print to sell in his storefront (I'm now working on getting some copyright clearance first as I incorporated a famous New Zealand company's cook book cover in the artwork). So that was very exciting.

Anyhow, you can buy prints, frames, and greeting cards of my work at my gallery at Imagekind here if you are at all interested: John Corney's gallery at Imagekind.com.

Cool Granny Has Taken Up Flying — The Little Old Lady Collection Grows Again

Posted
Cool Granny in Her Biplane — © John Corney 2026 Our cool granny is back, and she has done something the family has been quietly worried about for a few months now. She has taken up flying. A Brief Recap for New Readers If you're new to the series: she first appeared in a beautifully kept yellow Austin A35 on the corner of Queen Street and K Road in Auckland , waving cheerfully out the driver's window as she went past. That piece was, in its quiet way, a tribute to my own mother, who in her fifties bought her own motor scooter in Whanganui and never looked back — and to every older woman who has ever decided it was finally her turn. Then she showed up in a pink-and-yellow flame-painted monster truck, waving out the driver's window in exactly the same spirit, but with rather larger tyres. Same silver hair, same coral scarf, same oversized sunglasses. Same little red heart pa...

Faces of Pasifika 2007 — A Day at Auckland's Pacific Festival

Posted
The 15th anniversary Pasifika Festival poster — a collage of the Pacific cultures the festival celebrates. On Saturday 10 March 2007, I spent the day at the Pasifika Festival at Western Springs Park in Auckland. It was the festival's 15th year — an annual celebration of Pacific Island cultures that has been part of Auckland's calendar since 1993, and which typically draws crowds of well over 100,000 across the day. Nine Pacific villages are traditionally represented — Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Niue, Fiji, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Kiribati and Tahiti — with music, dance, food, arts, and craft from each community sharing the same park for the day. I usually visit New Zealand earlier in February, but in 2007 I was there in March and it was the first — and, to date, only — time I've been able to attend Pasifika. I hope to make it back one of these years. But I came away from that single visit with the str...
