Hey Auckland: in a few weeks, Good Morrow Tattoo studio will have my apparel in stock for you to try on and buy. Might be helpful so you don't have to guess at sizing online :)

Some tattoo artists are complaining waaayyy too much about clients in their content.

I generally keep pretty quiet online about my personal life but go damn dude

I will never understand being a nightmare is airport security. They’ll just make you stay here and then what? What’s the plan?

If artists of all mediums in this country are going to keep dodging their taxes the least they could do is not loudly brag about it all the time

Lately I’ve just been stenciling shitty sketches onto clients for custom tattoos if not completely free handing them and they’ve been amazing at trusting the process

Tattoo on back of lower leg. A female knight kneels before a fig tree

Tattoo on upper arm. A pillar and banner that are healed surrounded by a new crumbling wall

A double edged axe tattoo on the forearm

A vine of tomatoes tattooed around the upper arm

In other news, I opened a tattoo studio. It’s pretty cool #kikorangi #tattoostudio

I truly want local artists to thrive and succeed and just because we’re not besties doesn’t mean your art automatically becomes bad to me. The NZ scene is constantly throwing out amazing work and I’m honoured to support it in any way I can.

August 🥀 @finchtt.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

If you want me having your work up in my space to be some sort of epic own then be my guest but I can count on one hand the people within the NZ art community that I truly do not fuck with and it’s because they are either predators or have severely fucked me over in a very personal way.

Why would we use AI to plan our space when the sims exists and is already ripped onto our computers???

I’m not looking at my phone I’m taking care of business

A screenshot of a conversation on discord where an image of pencil sketches of Leon Kennedy from resident evil franchise of video games has been sent. It seems two threads of conversation happening at once have crossed over in a funny way to imply this image is importantly business related

The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

A Facebook post by Sticker Mule's owner Anthony Constantino. The post says "I support ICE ICE BABY. If you want a FREE T-shirt DM me your email". It has an image linked of a black shirt with ice-looking text reading "I support ICE ICE Baby"

It’s going to take me 3hours on public transport to do what could be done in 30mins with a car. This is why living in Auckland is the worst actually

Don’t know who needs to hear this but stop quitting your job to do artist alley and conventions, there are no benefits or health insurance and it is so unpredictable and the competition is worse than trying to get into Harvard lol

Making a solid effort to consume less short form content to stop my brain from dissolving and I’ve been making so much art instead??? I have more creative energy??? I feel my spark returning

First game of 2026 ☑️ Clair Obscur is a profound exploration of the cycle of grief that has completely devastated me. 5/5🌟

As I creep closer as closer to it I am harshly reminded of all the things I wanted to accomplish before I reached 30 and all of the road blocks that have left me in the position I’m in instead.

And I’m happier with my art than ever. Through all of my experimentation and failure I have improved tenfold and it’s very exciting.

August 🥀 @finchtt.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

It’s been a fascinating journey watching my work come full circle in style and practice. I wanted so desperately to innovate and do something different and find easier ways to do what I was doing only to find myself back making what I used to make in the exact way I used to make it.

August 🥀 @finchtt.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

New flash that I’m really proud of! First thing I’ve been fully satisfied with in a long time #kikorangi #tattoo

A tattoo flash sheet featuring a flail (top left), a rearing horse with wings (top right), a horse with wings and horns (bottom left), and two swords crossed over one another with one of them broken (bottom right). The tattoo designs are in a woodcut style

Hey creatives just an fyi that the reason more people than ever are asking you to put labels on your art style or asking what your particular style is called is so they know what words to put into AI

I have managed living all over Auckland city for over 10 years now without my license. Every time I start to consider finally getting it (for emergencies/convenience) I am overcome with this deep sense of dread that chills my bones and I take it as a sign not to bother
