Brief Encounter Art Print by Simon Stockley

About this print

Ever since he painted his iconic whale mural on Dominion Road over 40 years ago, he had a strange longing to be up close to an actual southern right whale. Of course this would be unlawful in Aotearoa New Zealand waters. Ironically, his great great grandfather was a whaler. Simon does not use AI in his artwork, instead he uses 3D rendering and digital painting applications which he has specialised in for nearly 30 years.
